Shoemaker, James N.

  James N., son of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Shoemaker, of Garrett, died on Thursday 
evening from diphtheria. He suffered for about 7 weeks from the onset of the 
disease until the angel of death saw fit to relieve him. He was the pride and 
joy of his parents as well as of the many people who knew him. He was always 
kind and affectionate to his playmates and friendly to all with whom he came in 
contact. The little one was aged three years and nine months. Funeral services 
were held in the Lutheran Church on Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock by Rev. W. 
H. B. Carney. There survive him, his parents and one sister. Interment was made 
in the cemetery at Fritz's Church. Tressler and Walker, of Meyersdale were the 
undertakers.
