E. Church, of which Mr. Todd was a member for forty years.
The six sturdy sons of Mr. Sherman Amick acted as pallbearers, all these boys having been born and reared in the Todd homestead under the care, and, you might say, parental watch of Mr. Todd and these boys paid their last loving tribute by helping lay his body to its peaceful and final rest. Interment in the Bedford Cemetery. Those from a distance who attended the funeral were: Rev. E. C. Keboch of Harrisburg; Mrs. W. G. Steel of Mapleton, PA; Mr. and Mrs. Charley Adams of Holsopple, PA; and Mrs. Crissman and Mrs. Gringling, both of Osterburg.
