SARAH ANNA SUDER

  Mrs. Sarah Anna Suder, wife of Peter Suder, died at her home at Deal, Tuesday 
afternoon, at 3 o'clock, at the age of 82 years, 2 months and 6 days.
  Mrs. Suder was a daughter of the late Jonathan and Kate (Boyer) Deeter, and 
was born in Allegheny Township in Deeter's Gap and lived in Somerset County her 
entire life, most of her married life being spent in Larimer Township.
  For the past few years Mr. and Mrs. Suder spent the winter months with their 
daughter, Mrs. George Wetmiller, in Berlin, and only last week had returned to 
their home at Deal.  Tuesday night, April 21, Mrs. Suder had retired, but 
thought her head was too low and got up and went into another room for an extra 
pillow.  While groping her way back to her room, in the dark, she mistook the 
staircase entrance for the entrance to her room and fell head-long down a short 
flight of stairs, landing on her face with considerable force, which caused her 
face to be badly bruised and cut and as a result she lost quite a bit of blood.  
Her husband found her and helped her to get back in bed.  She suffered 
considerable pain from her injuries and the shock of the fall, but retained 
consciousness until Monday evening, April 27, when she became weaker and died 
the following afternoon.
  For many years Mrs. Suder had been an active member of the Reformed Church of 
White oak.  She reared a large and very fine family, and in addition to being a 
wonderful Christian and mother was a splendid neighbor, loved by all with whom 
she came in contact for her noble character and sincere and friendly 
disposition.
  She is survived by her husband, four sons, Calvin and Henry Suder, of 
Meyersdale; William Suder, of Deal, and George Suder, of Boston, Mass.; six 
daughters, Mrs. Lewis Knepp, of Deal; Mrs. Henry Geiger, of Wittenberg; Mrs. 
George Wetmiller, of Berlin; Mrs. Charles Fair, of Connellsville; Mrs. Harry 
Housel, of Meyersdale, and Mrs. Anna Cessna, of Cumberland; two sisters, Mrs. 
Jacob Miller, of Shanksville, and Mrs. Abraham Miller, of the state of Iowa, and 
one brother, William H. Deeter, of Meyersdale.
  Funeral services were conducted today (Thursday), April 30th, at 2 o'clock, 
Rev. J. E. Gindlesperger, pastor of the White Oak Reformed Church, officiating.  
Interment was made in the Reformed Cemetery at White Oak.  Undertaker J. L. 
Tressler of Meyersdale had charge of the funeral arrangements.
