ANNIE WEBRECK

  Mrs. Annie Webreck, widow of Fannon Webreck and member of one of the old and 
highly respected Northampton Township families, died in the Memorial Hospital, 
Cumberland, Md., at 8 o'clock, Tuesday evening, after a long illness.  She was 
aged 69 years and had lived in Northampton Township practically all of her life.  
Her home during her married life was on a farm near Glencoe.  Her husband died 
in 1922, after which her youngest son, Robert, managed the farm for her until 
after his marriage when he moved to a farm in Brothersvalley Township and her 
son, Simon, and family came to live with her.
  Her health failing, she went to live with her son, Robert, last winter, and a 
few months ago was taken to Somerset to stay with her son, Milton, and family 
for a short time.  Her health continuing to fail, she was moved to the home of 
her son, Charles, in Cumberland, a few weeks ago, and finally entered the 
Memorial Hospital where the end came shortly.
  Undertakers Johnson & Son of Berlin prepared the body for burial and removed 
it to the home of her son, Simon, where it was kept until the funeral at Mt. 
Lebanon Reformed Church at 2 o'clock this (Thursday) afternoon.  The church was 
crowded to its full capacity by sorrowing relatives and friends.  The funeral 
services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. Gindlesperger, assisted by Rev. W. 
H. Miller, a former pastor, followed by interment in the Mt. Lebanon cemetery.
  Four sons, Milton, of Somerset, Charles, of Cumberland, Simon, of Glencoe, and 
Robert, of Brothersvalley, and two daughters, Mrs. Alice Wilmoth, of Forson, 
Texas, and Mrs. Leah Hostetler, of Windber, survive her; also 17 grandchildren, 
and two brothers, John T. Leydig, of Glencoe, and Isaiah D. Leydig, of 
Clewiston, Florida.
  Mrs. Webreck was a very estimable woman, loved and honored by all who knew 
her.  She will be sadly missed by her children and neighbors.
