LILY ROMESBURG

  Mrs. Lily Romesburg of West Salisbury, who for some time had been a patient in 
the Frederick City Hospital, at Frederick, Md., died there July 10, 1940, at the 
age of 63 years, 1 month and 8 days.  Her death was caused by a cerebral 
hemorrhage.  She was a daughter of the late Abraham and Mary Ann (Jones) Thomas, 
and was born in Allegheny Township.
  She is survived by the following children: Paul of Frederick, Md.; Daniel of 
Clarksburg, W.Va.; Theodore of Broadtop City, Pa.; Luther of Martinsburg, W.Va.; 
Mrs. Elaine Beck of Youngstown, Ohio, and Mrs. Hazel Benson of Thurmont, Md.  
She is also survived by the following brothers: William Thomas of Garrett; 
George Thomas of Berlin; Frank Thomas of West Salisbury; Joseph Thomas of 
Detroit, Mich.; John Thomas of Berlin, and by Charles Kimmel, a half-brother.
  When relatives of Mrs. Romesburg at West Salisbury learned of her death, it 
was arranged with Mortician Stanley M. Thomas of Salisbury to bring her body to 
his embalming rooms, where it was prepared for burial, and from thence taken to 
Mrs. Romesburg's late home in West Salisbury, where it reposed in state until it 
was taken to the Lutheran Church at Garrett, Pa., where the funeral service was 
held last Saturday.
  The service was conducted by Rev. W. W. Hall, pastor of the Garrett 
Evangelical Church, of which Mrs. Romesburg had been a member, and where the 
service would have been held, had the church edifice not been too small for the 
many relatives and friends who came to pay their last respects to one whom they 
had known and loved for years.
  Interment was made in the Ridge Cemetery, near Beechdale.
