Her maiden name was Bertha B. Slick, and she was a daughter of Hamilton and

pneumonia.

Surviving are her husband and parents, three step-children, Carroll, David and 
Anna Newcomer; six brothers, George Slick, of Frederick; Jesse, James, Denton, 
Arthur and Charles Slick, of Taneytown, and two sisters, Mrs. Edna Wrentzel, of 
Mt. Union, Md., and Mrs. Grace Robinson.

Funeral services were held at her late home Friday evening at 7 o'clock, Rev. 
Dr. M. J. Roth officiating.  On Saturday morning the body was brought to this 
place where further services were held in Grace Reformed church and interment 
made, Rev. G. P. Bready officiating.
