CLARENCE EDGAR STATLER

  Clarence Edgar Statler, retired coal operator, died at his home on Grant 
Street at 11:00 p.m., on Thursday, February 1, of chronic bromide poisoning.  
Mr. Statler had not been in good health for a number of years and for the past 
several months, his condition had been becoming steadily worse, but he was 
bedfast for only a few days so that his death was rather sudden.
  Mr. Statler was a coal miner in his youth, but eventually became associated 
with his father and brothers in the coal business as an operator, and at the 
time of his retirement, was associated with his older brother in the Pleasant 
Hill Coal Co.  A few years ago, he, with his brothers, did some work around a 
mine near Casselman, Pa., but for the most part his interest was in his 
gardening.
  He was born in Salisbury on March 29, 1880, a son of Emanuel and Susan 
(Hartline) Statler and was aged 64 years, 10 months and 3 days at his death.  He 
is survived by his wife, Besse (Stotler) Statler; two daughters, Alberta, wife 
of Harry Scott, Baltimore, and Marian, wife of Pvt. Fred H. Petry, Salisbury; 
and one son, Edgar D., of Cumberland.  In addition he is survived by three 
brothers, M. Franklin and Herbert H., Salisbury, and Cluell E., of Johnstown; 
one sister, Nellie, wife of Robert H. Deist, Bedford, and two grandchildren, 
Sandra Sue and Diane Petry.
  Funeral services were conducted at his home on Sunday, February 4, at 2:30 
p.m., by his pastor, Rev. Ira S. Monn of the Evangelical and Reformed Church.  
Interment in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery with Mortician Stanley M. Thomas in charge of 
arrangements.
