coal fall in the Blue Lick mine of the Enterprise Coal Company of Garrett.
  Mr. Weimer was working alone in a small mine room, loading coal at the time of

daughter, Judy Lee, of Meyersdale R.D. 3.

Simon Short, Salisbury; Harry Weimer, Avilton, Md.; Mrs. Charles Geisweidt, 
Jennings; a half brother, Harvey Brown, at home, and five step-brothers and four 
step-sisters.
  He was born in Salisbury, Sept. 4, 1920, a son of Mr. and Mrs. William Weimer.
  Brief services were held at the home of Norman Neimiller, Keystone St., father 
of Mrs. Weimer, at 1:30 this (Thursday) afternoon, followed by services in the 
Lutheran Church, Salisbury, in charge of Rev. George E. Bowersox, pastor,
