Woman Killed in Fire

Herald of June 3, 1971

Winifred Steward of Ore Hill was killed when an early-morning fire swept through her mobile home on May 29.

Rev. Gale D. Crumrine of Troy, Ohio, was named pastor at the Memorial Church of Brethren, succeeding Rev. Floyed H. Mitchell who had accepted a pastorate in Chambersburg.

About 50 friends and relatives cooperated in a barn-raising effort at the Earl Newswanger farm in Martinsburg RD 1. The Herald reported that it was the first such event done by the Old Order Mennonites in this area.

John Ginter was installed as president of VFW Post 6086 in Williamsburg.

A new flagpole was dedicated as part of Memorial Day services at Greenlawn Cemetery in Roaring Spring.

Dr. Charles Whetstone of Martinsburg fractured both arms and suffered a concussion when he was thrown from a horse while riding on Lock Mountain Road.
