WILLIAM THRASHER

  William Thrasher died at Harnedsville, Pa., on Wednesday evening, Sept. 3, 
1941, at the age of 81 years, 9 months and 5 days.
  He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Minerva J. Thrasher, and one son, John 
Thrasher, of Connellsville; also by two half-brothers, Calvin and Eli Weimer, of 
Sand Patch, Pa., and by seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
  Mr. Thrasher lost a leg a number of years ago following typhoid fever, and the 
last few years his eyesight failed him.  With all his afflictions and suffering 
he greeted everyone with a smile.
  Mr. Thrasher was a good husband and father and a good neighbor and will be 
missed by his many friends in Harnedsville where the family lived the past eight 
years.
  A short service was held at the home on Friday afternoon by Rev. Mrs. Mary E. 
Richey of Addison and removed to the home of the son, John Thrasher, in 
Connellsville, by funeral director Charles A. McCormick of Connellsville.
  Funeral service was held at the son's home on Saturday afternoon and burial 
was made at Normalville.
