The funeral of Miss Amelia McCamant took place on Monday morning from her late 
residence in Sadsbury township.  She had been confined to bed the past two 
years, suffering from the effects of a stroke. She is a lineal descendant of 
Alexander McCamant, on of the pioneers of Eastern Lancaster County, who took up 
a tract of 300 acres in that section in 1733, and part of which has been in 
possession of his descendants ever since. A sister, Caroline who shared the old 
homestead with her sister, now remains the only survivor of the family.  Her 
pastor, Rev. Wm Bullock, had charge of the services.  Members of the church 
choir sang "Asleep in Jesus".  Interment was made at Pequea Presbyterian 
Cemetery.
