      MRS. MARGARET WHETSTONE - Mrs. Margaret Whetstone, widow of William Whetstone, died at her home near Breezwood on Sunday, March 20, 1910, at the advanced age of 83 years, 7 months and 27 days. The deceased, whose maiden name was Margaret Morgart, was born and reared in Ray's Cove. Early in life she became a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church at Ray's Hill, remaining faithful to the end. The Words of the Psalmist are appropriately fulfilled in her long life where he says, "With long life will I satisfy thee and show thee my salvation." Her husband, William Whetstone, preceded her to the Spirit World about 25 years ago; also one son, John Whetstone. she is survived by three children: Miss Sadie on the home place, Mrs. William E. Smith, of Cumberland Valley, and J. Elmer, of Everett. The funeral services were held Tuesday morning in the Ray's Hill Lutheran Church, conducted by her former pastor, Rev. J. W. Lingle, of Bedford. Interment in the cemetery adjoining the church.
