  Mrs. Sadie Zehner, widow of John Zehner, died at her home in Grantsville, Md.,

  She is survived by a son, Roy Zehner, of Pittsburgh; a daughter, Mrs. Robert 
Marshall, of Grantsville; two grandchildren and one sister, Mrs. Frank Peterson

  Mrs. Zehner spent her entire life in Grantsville.  She was a daughter of Mr.

the Civil War and reared a fine family - five daughters and two sons - all now

  The deceased's sisters and brothers, besides Mrs. Zehner, were Rachel and 
Nettie, first and second wife, respectively, of the late Charles H. Bill; Mrs. 
Elizabeth Pope, Charles A. Bonig, for many years manager of Wells-Fargo Express 
office in Cumberland, and Henry Bonig, former Grantsville merchant.
  The father of the family conducted a general store in Grantsville for many 
years, and afterwards was a farmer.
  Mrs. Zehner was a lifelong member of the Grantsville Lutheran Church.  Funeral 
services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. S. D. Sigler, Wednesday afternoon, 
followed by interment in the Grantsville Cemetery.  The funeral arrangements 
were in charge of William Winterberg, Grantsville mortician.
