CHARLES YOMMER

  Charles Yommer, born in Grantsville, Md., July 18, 1879, died at his home in 
Salisbury, Pa., at 5:30 a.m., June 5th, at the age of 61 years, 10 months and 17 
days.  His death was caused by heart disease, from which he suffered at 
intervals for several years, but was confined to his bed only a short time 
immediately preceding his death.
  He was a son of the late John and Dorothy Hanft Yommer, and was twice married.  
His first wife before her marriage was Miss Annie Speicher, a native of Garrett 
County, Md., who died more than twenty years ago.  His second wife was Miss 
Alice Butler before her marriage, also a native of Garrett County, Md.
  Mr. Yommer was a resident of Salisbury for more than 20 years, and the highest 
tribute that can be paid him is that he was a good citizen, at peace with all 
the world, and one who could always be relied upon "to do and to be the best 
that was in him to do and to be."  He was a devout and faithful member of St. 
John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, and was a kind and devoted husband and 
father.
  He is survived by his second wife and these children: Beuhla of Wheeling, 
W.Va.; Bessie of Canton, Ohio; Harrison of Garrett County, Md., all children by 
his first wife; and Hester of Grantsville, Md., and Sarah at home, children of 
his second marriage.  He is also survived by three sisters, Mrs. Richard Younkin 
of Grantsville, Md.; Mrs. Robert Himmler of Trafford City, Pa., and Mrs. Minnie 
Daniels of Spring Gap, Md.
  The funeral services were held in St. John's Lutheran Church last Saturday, 
conducted by his pastor, Rev. S. D. Sigler, assisted by Rev. A. M. Wright.  
Interment was in the Salisbury I.O.O.F. Cemetery, under the direction of Stanley 
M. Thomas, local mortician.
