MARY LOUISE WALKER

  Many hearts were saddened in the Somerset community Monday afternoon when word 
was received from Johnstown that Mary Louise Walker, eldest daughter of Elmer D. 
and Laura Speicher Walker, of West Main Street, had passed away in the Johnstown 
Memorial Hospital, to which she was admitted two weeks previously.  The cause of 
her death was peritonitis.
  Miss Walker was born May 4, 1904, in Middlecreek Township and came to Somerset 
when a child.  She was a graduate of the Somerset High School and Juniata 
College and subsequently taught two terms in the Somerset schools.  At the time 
of her death she was employed in the insurance agency of Charles J. Harrison, 
Jr.
  In addition to her parents she is survived by these brothers and sisters:  
Ruth, Helen, Mildred, Samuel and Marjorie.
  Funeral services were conducted at the bereaved home at 2:30 Wednesday 
afternoon by her pastor, Rev. T. Rodney Coffman, of the Church of the Brethren.
  A blood transfusion was recommended by Miss Walker's physician in an effort to 
save her life and her sister, Miss Helen Walker, volunteered to give of her 
healthy blood to save her stricken sister, but it was of no avail.
