NANCY LOUELLA STEVANUS

  Mrs. Nancy Louella Stevanus, wife of W. B. Stevanus of Salisbury, died at her 
home Jan. 11, at the age of 63 years, 10 months and 19 days.  Her death was 
caused by a cerebral hemorrhage, after having suffered a long time from diabetes 
and high blood pressure.
  She was a daughter of the late Samuel and Mary Garlitz Koontz, and lived her 
entire life in the Salisbury community.  She is survived by her husband and 
these children: Emmet T. and Allen W. Stevanus, Wilkinsburg; George V. Stevanus, 
Edgewood; Mrs. Thelma Mayhew, Arnettsville, W.Wa., and Mrs. Florence Smith, 
Smithburg, Md.  She is also survived by these sisters and one brother, namely, 
Mrs. Della Davis and Mrs. Florence Wells, Braddock, and Milton Koontz, North 
Braddock.
  She was a faithful wife, a kind and loving mother, and a kind and considerate 
neighbor, one who always had the best interests of her family and home community 
at heart.  She did the best she could under any and all circumstances.  She was 
also a faithful member of St. John's Reformed Church from her early childhood.
  Funeral services were held Wednesday, at 2:30 p.m., at the church where she 
worshipped for so many years, and were conducted by Rev. Alvin J. Forry, pastor 
of the St. Paul Evangelical and Reformed Church, Elk Lick Township.
  Interment was in the Salisbury I.O.O.F. Cemetery, under the direction of 
Stanley M. Thomas, Salisbury mortician.
