MISS COBLENTZ DIES SUDDENLY; RITES ON SUNDAY

Stricken In Baltimore Hospital Following Thyroid Operation

Miss Mary Virginia Coblentz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emory L. Coblentz, Middletown, and instructor of music in the public schools of Frederick county, died Thursday morning at ten o'clock at the University of Maryland Hospital in Baltimore following a thyroid operation. She was aged twenty-eight years.

Miss Coblentz on Wednesday returned from near Harrisburg, Pa., where she had been organist at the wedding on Tuesday of Miss Mary Ann Rupp and Dr. Harry W. Herriott. She was in her usual health and stopped in Frederick in the afternoon en route to Baltimore to enter the hospital. Word of her death Thursday morning shocked her many friends and aquaintances throughout the community.

Miss Coblentz was born September 27, 1908. She was graduated from the Middletown High School, and in 1933 received the Bachelor of Music degree from Hood College, one of the few similar degrees ever awarded at Hood. She also studied at Lebanon Valley College.

An accomplished musician, Miss Coblentz played both the piano and organ. She frequently participated in local musical events and her favorite composers were the old masters. She had written a number of original compositions.

She was music instructor in the Middletown, Walkersville and Liberty area schools where she also had charge of the glee clubs. Following her graduation from college she taught for a year in the Brunswick High School. She had a reputation as a splendid teacher.

Besides her parents, Miss Coblentz is survived by five sisters, Miss Helen Coblentz, Middletown, who is at the University of Michigan studying a summer course, Mrs. George Swank, Brunswick, Mrs. Nat T. Winston, of Johnson City, Tenn., who is visiting here, Mrs. Frank C. Engelsing, Balboa Heights, Canal Zone, and Mrs John C. Saur, New York City.

Funeral services will be held from the late home in Middletown Sunday afternoon at three o'clock, Rev. Philip E. Sayler, pastor of Christ Evangelical and Reformed church, Middletown officiating. Interment will be in Middletown Reformed cemetery. Gladhill Company, funeral directors.
