WELL KNOWN LADY DIED SUNDAY
MRS. ADDIE STERLING BURIED ON TUESDAY
Mrs. Addie M. Sterling, one of Crisfield's best known and highly respected matrons, died in the McCready Hospital last Sunday morning where she had been a patient for less than a week, at the age of 82 years.
She was the daughter of the late John and Lavinia C. Cullen, one of Somerset's pioneer families, and the widow of the late William A. (Dergy) Sterling.
Mrs. Sterling was known and admired by hundreds of community residents for her motherly and cheerful manner, and had until the past few years been active in association with her husband in the soft drink and restaurant business.
It was in these years of meeting the public day after day and serving the people courteously and competently that "Miss Addie" as most people called her, made a warm place for herself in the hearts of young and old alike.
She was a gracious woman, soft spoken, had reared a fine family of children, and as a business woman earned the respect and regard of all who came to know her. In late years whenever she appeared on the streets, there were many people who greeted her fondly and recalled with pleasure incidents that had happened during the many years she had been active in business with her husband.
Mrs. Sterling reposed at the Covington Funeral Home until Tuesday afternoon, when funeral services were conducted in Asbury Methodist church at at 2.00 o'clock by Rev. Robert E. Green, the pastor. Interment was in the family plot in Asbury cemetery.
Bearers were Vaughn Sterling, Willis Bridell, Raymond Nelson, Reese Betts, Carl Bluford and Edward Nelson.
She leaves one daughter, Agnes McLane of Salisbury, two sons, John T. Sterling of Baltimore and William A. Sterling, Jr., of this city, six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
