  Surviving are seven children - Bert F., Earl M., Harold E., and Robert D., all 
of Meyersdale; Orlen E., U.S. Army; Mrs. Robert Dennison, Cumberland, Md., and 
Mrs. Earl S. Miller, Meyersdale.  He also leaves seven grandchildren and two 
brothers, Milton A., Rockwood, and Elmer D. Walker, Somerset.
  Funeral services will be conducted at 2:30 p.m. Friday at the Meyersdale 
Church of the Brethren by Rev. DeWitt Miller, pastor.  Interment will be in the
