  MARY EVE GLESSNER
  
    Mary Eve Glessner, wife of James Glessner, died Dec. 20th, at the home of her 
  son, Harry Glessner, near Federalsburg, Md., at the advanced age of 86 years, 7 
  months and 18 days.  Her death was caused by pneumonia, of which she was ill for 
  one week.
    Fifty-five years ago she was united in marriage with James Glessner, and to 
  them were born two children, one of whom died in infancy.  She is survived by 
  her husband, a son, Harry, ten grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
    Mr. and Mrs. Glessner spent the greater part of their married life on a farm 
  in Allegheny Township, this county.  About a year ago they made sale and moved 
  to Federalsburg, Md., where they lived with their son.
    The body was taken by train to Bedford where a Bedford undertaker took charge.  
  Harry Glessner accompanied the body.  The bereaved husband, Mrs. Harry Glessner, 
  James Glessner, Jr., and wife and Robert Glessner, came by automobile for the 
  funeral which was held at Mt. Zion Lutheran Church in Allegheny Township, on 
  Christmas day, with burial in the Mt. Zion cemetery.  Rev. C. P. Bastian of 
  Berlin conducted the funeral services.  Among the relatives who attended the 
  funeral were Mae Glessner of Berlin, Minerva Hershizer of Meyersdale and Nellie 
  Hershizer of Wilkinsburg.
    Mrs. Glessner was confirmed at Mt. Zion, in her girlhood days and lived 
  faithful to her religious vows.  It is said that the plot in which her mortal 
  remains were interred was within the foundation walls of the old church in which 
  she was confirmed.
