    MRS. IDA M. SCHRAMM
  
    Mrs. Ida M. Schramm, for many years a resident of Salisbury,
  died at the home of her son, Paul Schramm, in Wilkinsburg, Pa.,
  Thursday, Jan. 9, 1941, at the age of 73 years, 5 months and 18 days.
  Her death was caused by angina pectoris; but she had other ailments
  incident to old age, which caused her to rent her Salisbury residence
  during the latter part of last year and go to live with her son and
  family.
     Mrs. Schramm was the youngest child of Henry and Marie
  (Panett) Smouse, and was born and reared in Grantsville, Md.  During her
  young womanhood she was united in marriage with the late George Schramm,
  of the same vicinity, and soon after their marriage they located in
  Salisbury, Pa., where her husband preceded her in death 33 years ago.
    Mrs. Schramm is survived by the following children:  Lela,
  wife of Jonas S. Lichty, of Salisbury; Emma, wife of Earl Wagner; and
  Ethel, wife of Ralph Straub, both of Somerset; Maude, wife of Wilber
  Foster of Akron, Ohio; Paul, of Wilkinsburg; and Wilbur of Somerset.
  Her children were all in attendance at the funeral, which was held at
  the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jonas Lichty, in Salisbury, last Sunday at 2:30
  P. M., conducted by Rev. S. D. Sigler, pastor of St. John's Lutheran
  Church, of which Mrs. Schramm was a devout and faithful member for many
  years.
    Her funeral was largely attended, and there were many
  beautiful floral tributes.  Prior to the funeral, many friends and
  acquaintances also called at the Lichty home while the remains reposed
  there in state to tender their sympathy to the bereaved sons and
  daughters.
    Mortician Stanley M. Thomas brought the body from
  Wilkinsburg to his undertaking rooms in Salisbury, where it was
  embalmed, and at the conclusion of the obsequies, was interred in the I.
  O. O. F. cemetery under his direction.
