VALENTINE SUGIER

Popular Lady Stricken on Christmas Eve While Acting Santa Claus for Nephew

  Mrs. Valentine (Ferrier) Sugier, wife of Adrian Sugier, died suddenly 
Christmas eve, near midnight, at her home, New Colonial Inn, on the National 
Highway.  Mrs. Sugier was playing Santa Claus for her nephew Patrick Payton, and 
was attacked by a choking spell, and before a doctor could be secured, she has 
passed away.
  Besides her husband, she is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Jeanne Payton, 
manager of the New Colonial Inn in the absence of her husband, S/Sgt. William 
Payton, in the Philippines; Julia Ferrier, Donora, Pa., and Mrs. Louise Beates, 
Cleveland, Ohio; and four brothers, F. C. Ferrier, Aliquippa, Pa.; Adrian, Paul 
and George Ferrier, Donora.
  The body was removed to the home of her sister, Miss Julia Ferrier in Donora 
for interment there.  Mrs. Sugier would have been 50 years old if she had lived 
until December 29th.  She had been at the New Colonial Inn ever since the 
Paytons took over the management, and was well known to many citizens of 
Salisbury and vicinity.
