Engle, John

  One of the largest funerals ever witnessed here occurred Sunday when the 
remains of John Engle, farmer and miller, were laid in there resting place. 
Funeral services were held in St. John's Reformed Church at 2:30 p. m. but long 
before that hour and the arrival of the funeral party the large church and the 
Sunday School room were filled with people who came to pay their last respects 
to this venerable citizen, neighbor, friend and old soldier. The funeral sermon 
was preached by deceased's pastor, Rev. I. S. Monn, and interment was made in 
the I. O. O. F. Cemetery. Mr. Engle died at the Western Maryland Hospital last 
Friday where he had been taken to be operated upon for gall stones. The 
preliminary operation had been performed and the patient seemed to be getting 
along nicely but before the final operation his condition changed for the worse 
and death came to relieve his suffering. Besides his widow the deceased is 
survived by the following children: John J. and Samuel, of Salisbury, George, 
Calvin, Frank and Miss Bessie Engle at home, Mrs. David Keim, Elk Lick Township, 
and Mrs. Domm. Mr. Engle was aged a little over 75 years. He had not been in 
good health for several years but was usually in his place at church and Sunday 
school where he will be greatly missed. It will be a sad void in the family 
where he was a kind and devoted husband and father and the community at large 
will miss him as a generous and helpful neighbor and useful citizen.
