Her mother, Mrs. Samuel Nichols, of Eckhart, and the following brothers and sisters survive: Mr. Thomas Barry, Jr., Master Edward Barry, Mrs. James Porter, Mrs. Wm. Nelson, and Miss Minnie Barry, all of Eckhart. The husband mourns alone, as there was no children. Mrs. Maher was a life long member of the St. Michael's Catholic church, Frostburg from which place the funeral will take place with interment in the church cemetery. This is the first death among the many fever cases that exist in Eckhart. Several young men who still have the fever are in a critical condition. The same can be said of a couple of Italians."
