Cumberland Evening Times, January 21, 1925     HOLZEN, Miss Mary Gertrude TRIBUTE OF RESPECT  To the Memory of Miss Mary Gertrude Holzen, Who Died Nov. 17, 1905. The people of our city were shocked and hearts saddened on last Friday morning to hear of the sudden death of Miss Mary Holzen, daughter of the late Anthony Holzen. We say sudden because it came very unexpectedly, even though she had been in poor health for several years, yet not considered in a critical condition even by those most closely associated with her, as she was able to be around all the time and was engaged in her daily duties. She mysteriously strayed from her home unobserved and was found later floating in the river.  All that loving hearts and hands could do to restore her was of no avail.  Her spirit had already flown back to the God who gave it. Miss Mary was quiet and unassuming, possessed of a timid disposition, yet courageous for the cause of right.  She was a devout member of SS. Peter and Paul's Catholic Church, and lived faithful in her vows; always at the post of duty unless detained by some cause that would stand the test in the day of final judgment. Her Christian character and practices all through life were such as endeared her to those familiar with her, and brought her their esteem and kindly regard. The funeral services were conducted from SS. Peter and Paul's Church yesterday, Nov. 20, 1905, and were largely attended.  The many beautiful floral tributes place by loving hands showed the esteem of her friends.  A solemn high requeim mass was sung by Father Mathias, assisted by Father Dominic and a ???? deacon. The pallbearers were as follows:  Messrs. Wm. Mertens?, Henry W. Graber, Chas. Sanders, Robert Birmingham, Andrew Fesenmeir, Geo. Glick?, Hanson Seifers and Richard Coyle. Sympathy of the entire community goes out to the sisters and brothers in their late bereavement.  It is a time when words fail and the pen falters to express our thoughts, and I commend them to Him who doeth all things well, and who only can give true comfort and whose grace is sufficient at all times. ---- A FRIEND Cumberland Evening Times, Tuesday, November 21, 1905     HOOVER, Mrs. Emma Lichty Meyersdale, Pa., Aug. 6 — A native of Elk Lick Township, Mrs. Emma (Lichty) Hoover, 90, died yesterday morning at her home east of Meyersdale.
