MILDRED ADAMS

  Mrs. Mildred (Donges) Adams, aged 41 years, died at her home on Market Street 
on Monday, January 26, 1942, following a lingering illness.  Mrs. Adams, though 
an invalid for many years, had a wide circle of friends.  No one ever knew her 
but to love her.  She was born in Meyersdale on May 15, 1900, a daughter of 
George and Susan Anne (Beal) Donges, of Greenville Township.  Mrs. Adams lived 
in Meyersdale until she reached the age of 17, when she went in nurse's training 
in a Baltimore hospital.  At the completion of her training she accepted a 
nursing position in Shepherd and Pratt Hospital in Baltimore, Md., where she 
remained for one year.  While there she met and married Frank W. Adams of New 
York.  After living in Baltimore for several years they moved to Cumberland, 
Md., where Mrs. Adams underwent a serious operation which left her an invalid 
for the remainder of her life.
  Surviving in addition to her husband, Frank W. Adams, is a sister, Mrs. Emily 
Allen, Meyersdale, and four brothers, Edward L., Stewart and Clay Donges, all of 
Meyersdale, and William J. Donges, of Akron, Ohio.
  Funeral services were conducted at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon at the Adams home 
by the Rev. Howard K. Hilner, pastor of the Zion Lutheran Church.  Interment was 
made in Union Cemetery under the direction of H. R. Konhaus, local mortician.
