Ellen Fulwiler Mahrt’s Obituary

Mrs. Ellen Mahrt, wife of August Mahrt, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fulwiler, died Sunday at her home on Potomac street.  The deceased was 40 years of age.  The funeral will be held on Tuesday morning; services at the family residence at 8 o’clock, and at Holy Trinity church at 8:30.  Burial will be private at Calvary cemetery.  Ben Westbrock.

Mr. Mahrt has been in the employ of the Stomps-Burkhardt company for the past 25 years, until about three weeks ago, when he was discharged without any apparent reason.  This, added to the loss of a good wife, makes his affliction all the more sad.  He was held in high esteem by his fellow-workmen, who extend to him their sincerest sympathy in his bereavement.
