MRS. FANNIE AMICK

A shadow of gloom was cast over our community Sunday, July 25, when the sad tidings were received that Mrs. Fannie Amick, of West Providence township, had passed away early in the morning.

Mrs. Amick was apparently in as good health as usual, going about her morning chores, having gone to the cellar to put away her milk where she was found shortly afterward. Death was due to heart failure.

If success in this world is measured by service to others, surely our departed friend and mother has attained success. Her life has been a continual round of loving service to family, neighbors and friends. Never too busy to lend a hand, never too tired to do more.

Mrs. Amick has passed away, but her words cheer,
her kindly deeds and her life of humble devotion shall live in the hearts of those who knew her.

Mrs. Fannie Grubb Amick was born in Snake Spring township November 30, 1849, and was aged 70 years, 7 months and 25 days.

She was a daughter of Andrew and Rosy Snowberger, deceased, and was twice married. First to Himas Grubb, who died in 1897; later to John Amick, who preceded her to the grave nine years ago.

Left to mourn their loss are one sister, Mrs. Jacob Snyder, of Everett, and the following sons: Andrew Grubb, of New Enterprise; Henry Grubb, of Loysburg, and Ira Grubb of Martinsburg. She is also survived by eleven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Mrs. Amick united with the Church of the Brethren early in life and has always been a faithful and consistent laborer in the vineyard of her Lord.

Funeral services were held in the Cherry Lane church Wednesday morning following conducted by Elder M. R. Brumbaugh, assisted by Elders John Bennett and Herman Guyer.

Interment was made in the cemetery adjoining the church.

Dearest mother, thou hast left us
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But 'tis God that hath bereft us
He can all our sorrows heal.
