Glass, Anna Elizabeth [Weaver] - 1881

Francis V.

Singer, Susan - 1881

That Bourne Whence None Return

Susan Singer.

Died near Mt. Hope, September 12, Susan, infant child of Peter G. and Susanna (Baum) Singer, aged 2 months and 20 days.  This is the second death in Mr. Singer’s family within a short time, they having buried on July 16, 1881, a daughter who fell a victim to that dread disease, diphtheria.  Susan was taken off by cholera infantum, after being sick for about 10 hours.

In the morning of September 12, Mr. S. went after his work, which on this day took him away from home a short distance, when he was sent for in the forenoon, little thinking that such a change would take place in his family circle on that day.

But soon the fatal effects of the disease began to show themselves, when in the evening of that same day she breathed her last.  She rests in peace with six others of her brothers and sisters in God’s care at White Oak.  Her funeral took place on September 15.
