WILLIAM G. SCHARDT

  William G. Schardt passed away at his home on Keystone St., on Saturday 
morning, from a heart attack.
  Mr. Schardt, a son of the late John and Catharine Schardt, was born January 
21, 1887, and was aged 61 years and 17 days at the time of his death.
  He was reared in Meyersdale and on October 4, 1914, he was united in marriage 
with Bessie Bell Baker of Ellerslie, Md.
  In 1935, they bought their present home on Keystone St. where they have 
resided ever since.
  Mr. Schardt was a deaf mute and in the last few years, his eye-sight also 
failed him, making his lot in life a most pathetic one.  His wife, also a deaf 
mute, has been his constant companion and guide.
  Funeral services were conducted on Monday afternoon at 2:30 at the W. C. Price 
funeral home, by Rev. Floyd Gotjen, pastor of the Methodist Church.  Interment 
was in Union Cemetery.
  Mr. Schardt is survived by his aged mother, his wife, and the following 
brothers and sisters - Jean, living in Colorado; Julia, living in Florida; 
Dolly, living in New York; Mayme of McKeesport, Pa., and John and Herbert of 
Meyersdale.
