ARD:—Mrs. Amanda Body Ard, well known resident of Woodward, widow of the late Dr. Wilson P. Ard. died quite suddenly on Sunday while visiting at the home of a neighbor, her death being the result of a heart attack. She had returned home. on Friday, from visiting friends in east- ern Pennsylvania and was apparently in the best of health. In fact during the few weeks she was away she had been at forty different places, On Sunday she went to a neighbor’s to make a call and while there suffered the attack which resulted in almost instant death. She was 73 years, 3 months and 23 days old and was born in Berks county. Her girlhood life was spent in that part of the State and it was there she was educated and acquired the charm and refinement which were such pleasing traits of character dur- ing her many years of residence in Centre county. She came to this county shortly after her marriage to Dr. Ard and ever since has lived at Woodward. She was a member of the Reformed church since girlhood. Her husband died three years ago but surviving her are three children, Dr. George Ard, of Hanover; Mus. Maude Kuhlman, of Pittsburgh, and Joseph, with whom she made her home. Funeral services were held at her late home, at Woodward, at 10.30 o’clock on Wednesday morning, burial being made in the cemetery at that place. il Il FREDERICKS.—William Freder-| icks, the only man who ever drew a pension from Bellefonte borough, died at his home on south Allegheny street, at one o'clock on Wednesday morning, following an illness of sev- eral weeks, the probable result of par- alysis with which he has been af- flicted for more than six years. In fact it was in 1921 when he suffered a severe stroke which rendered him a semi-invalid the balance of his life. For a score or more of years prior to that he had been an employee of the water department of Bellefonte borough and because of his faithful service during all his active years Bellefonte council put him on the regular pay roll at half salary and he had been so carried ever since. Very little could be learned of Mr. Frederick’s family history. His par- ents were Ebenezer and Josephine Fredericks and he was born on Decem- ber 31st, 1860, but just where could not be learned. As a young man he located in Bellefonte and followed the occupation of a day laborer, and he always gave full value in work per- formed. He married Miss Ellen Harris, who survives with no children. Funeral services will be held at 2:30 o’clock this (Friday) afternoon by Rev. C. C. Shuey, burial to be made in the Sun- nyside cemetery. : fr i MORAN.—Mrs. Estella Mae Moran died on Monday, at her home in New Kensington, as the result of an attack of pneumonia. Her maiden name was Estella Mae Rote and she was born on Thomas street, Bellefonte, forty- nine years ago. She was twice mar- ried, both husbands having preceded her to the grave, but surviving her are four children to her first husband. Luella, Lucy, Frederick and Roger Murtaugh, all at home. She also leaves a step-father, Harry Sayres, at one time a bookkeeper for the Ardell Lumber company, of Bellefonte, but now in the Masonic home, at Eliza- bethtown. Mrs. Moran had been a resident of New Kensington the past three or four years and was engaged as an estimator for a large contracting firm. The remains were brought to Belle- fonte on the 1:20 p. m. train, on' Wednesaay, and taken to the Method- ist church where funeral services were held by Rev. Homer C. Knox, burial being made in the Union cemetery. Il Il DETLING.—Richard Detling died at his home in Spring township, at six o'clock last Friday evening, as a re- sult of a complication of diseases with which he had suffered the past two years. He was almost seventy-four years old and was born in Germany, com- ing to this country as a young man. He was a stonemason by trade and followed that occupation most of his life. As a young man he married Miss Katherine Haas, of Roopsburg, and all their married life had been spent near Bellefonte. He was a hard-working man and a good eiti- zen. His only survivors are his wife, who is also in poor health, and one daughter, Miss Mabel. Funeral serv- ices were held at his late home at 2:30 o’clock, on Monday afternoon, by Rev. Edward M. Frear, Episcopalian rector of State College, burial being made in the Union cemetery. Il I! GATES.—Richard T. Gates, a na- tive Centre countian, died at the Har- risburg hospital on February 1st, fol- lowing an illness of some weeks with a complication of diseases.
