MRS. FANNIE AMICK

A shadow of gloom was cast over our community Sunday, July 25, when the sad 
tidings were received that Mrs. Fannie Amick, of West Providence township, had 
passed away early in the morning.  Mrs. Amick was apparently in as good health 
as usual, going about her morning chores, having gone to the cellar to put away 
her milk where she was found shortly afterward.  Death was due to heart failure.

If success in this world is measured by service to others, surely our departed 
friend and mother has attained success.  Her life has been a continual round of 
loving service to family, neighbors and friends.  Never too busy to lend a hand, 
never too tired to do more.  Mrs. Amick has passed away, but her words cheer, 
her kindly deeds and her life of humble devotion shall live in the hearts of 
those who knew her.

Mrs. Fannie Grubb Amick was born in Snake Spring township November 30, 1849, and 
was aged 70 years, 7 months and 25 days.  She was a daughter of Andrew and Rosy 
Snowberger, deceased, and was twice married.  First to Himas Grubb, who died in 
1897; later to John Amick, who preceded her to the grave nine years ago.  Left 
to mourn their loss are one sister, Mrs. Jacob Snyder, of Everett, and the 
following sons:  Andrew Grubb, of New Enterprise; Henry Grubb, of Loysburg, and 
Ira Grubb of Martinsburg.  She is also survived by eleven grandchildren and two 
great-grandchildren.

Mrs. Amick united with the Church of the Brethren early in life and has always 
been a faithful and consistent laborer in the vineyard of her Lord.

Funeral services were held in the Cherry Lane church Wednesday morning following 
conducted by Elder M. R. Brumbaugh, assisted by Elders John Bennett and Herman 
Guyer.  Interment was made in the cemetery adjoining the church.

Dearest mother, thou hast left us
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But 'tis God that hath bereft us
He can all our sorrows heal.
