SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. DANIEL DAHL
Husband and Children Are Overwhelmed with Grief by Her Demise.
Mrs. Daniel Dahl, one of the most highly esteemed residents of Meyersdale, died suddenly at her home on Olinger street Saturday night, leaving a devoted husband, five sons, one daughter and 11 grandchildren, besides many other relatives and friends, to mourn her loss.
She was in the 61st year of her age. Her death was due to heart trouble. During the past year she had several severe attacks of heart failure, but otherwise she was usually well and able to attend to her household duties. She was suffering from a cold last week, but on Saturday scrubbed her porches and did all the other work she was accustomed to do on Saturdays. In the evening she read the newspapers until after 10 o'clock, when her husband suggested that they retire, as she seemed weary from the day's exertions. Before going upstairs she saw that all of the doors were locked and everything made safe, as was her custom. After getting ready for bed she knelt by her bedside with her husband to say their prayers, a sacred duty which they never omitted. After performing her devotions she was seized with a severe choking spell and asked Mr. Dahl to get her a little sugar to ease her throat. He did so, and as she still continued to suffer, he heated a spoonful of vaseline, which he asked her to swallow, but this gave no relief either, and a hemorrhage of the lungs ensued.
By this time the husband was thoroughly alarmed and he hastily telephoned for a doctor and then in his night clothes ran to call his son John and son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Raymond, living nearby, and also Rev. Father Brady. Dr. J.W. Wenzel promptly responded to the call and went to her relief, as did also Father Brady and the others who were called. In spite of all physical and spiritual ministrations her condition continued to grow worse. Father Brady administered the sacrament of extreme unction, and after 1 o'clock her spirit took its flight.
-- Noble Wife and Mother. --
Mrs. Dahl, whose maiden name was Catherine Josephine Rohman, was born at Cresaptown, Md., Oct. 10, 1858. She was a daughter of Martin and Josephine Rohman. She was married to Daniel Dahl in September, 1882. They commenced their married life on a farm in Southampton Township, Somerset county, Pa., and after a few years removed to Cumberland, Md., and thence to Meyersdale, where they resided happily for the past 32 years, Mr. Dahl following the occupations of baker, miner, etc.
A more devoted couple than Mr. and Mrs. Dahl never lived. No wife was ever loved with a greater devotion by her husband and children than Mrs. Dahl, nor did any woman ever perform the duties of wife and mother with greater love and devotion than Mrs. Dahl. She was a model housekeeper and homemaker. With her, cleanliness was not only next to godliness, but cleanliness was virtually a part of her religion. She was a devout member of the Roman Catholic church, and, like Lydia of Thyatira, she not only worshiped God herself, but all her household followed by her example.
-- The Bereaved Relatives. --
Mr. and Mrs. Dahl were blessed with seven children - six sons and one daughter. The three eldest sons, William, John and Charles, are all married and engaged in the banking business in Meyersdale. Casper, the fourth son, died at the age of 4 years. Alfred, the fifth son, is a baker in the U.S. Navy, attached to the U.S.S. Minnesota, which was last reported at Hampton Roads, Va. Clarence, the youngest son, who is a valued member of The Republican staff, was a student in the printing department of the Carnegie Institute of Technology when the United States entered the World War, after which he enlisted in the Navy for the duration of the war, being a member of the crew of the battleship New Mexico when the armistice was signed, soon after which he received his discharge and returned to his former position in The Republican office.
The only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dahl is the wife of Fred Raymond, their seven children and Mr. and Mrs. W.L. Dahl's four children, constituting Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Dahl's eleven grandchildren.
Mr. Dahl is also survived by three brothers, John and Nicholas Rohman of Cumberland, Md., and Michael Rohman of New Castle, Pa.; also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Enoch McKenzie and Mrs. Charles Dahl, both of Cumberland, Md., the latter's husband being a brother of Daniel Dahl.
All of the bereaved relatives are overwhelmed with grief on account of Mrs. Dahl's death, the bereaved husband's grief, especially, being inconsolable.
-- Funeral Services. --
Funeral services were held in SS. Philip and James Church, Tuesday at 9 a.m., the solemn requiem mass for the repose of her soul being celebrated by her pastor, Rev. Father Brady, in the presence of a large congregation. The pall-bearers were the four sons of the deceased, William, John, Charles and Clarence Dahl the son-in-law,Fred Raymond, and Thomas A. McKenzie, who took the place of the absent son, Alfred Dahl, who could not be present.
The body, which was prepared for burial by Undertaker Reich, rested in a beautiful white casket, covered with beautiful floral pieces presented by mourning relatives and friends. In the casket, over the the stilled mother heart was placed a photograph of the absent sailor son, Alfred Dahl, said his last farewell to his dear mother over a month ago when he returned to sea after a month's leave from service, and who could not be reached with a message informing of his mother's death and funeral.
While the funeral service was in progress, a telegram was received from the Bureau of Navigation at Washington, stating that the cruiser Minnesota, of whose crew Mr. Dahl is a member, was at Hampton Roads, Va., and that an effort was being amde to get the news of his mother's death to him. This telegram was read by Father Brady at the close of the funeral service and he announced that in view of the possibility of the son being reached and arriving home within a day or two it had been decided to take the body of Mrs. Dahl back to the family home and postpone the funeral until his arrival.
After waiting until Wednesday evening without any word being received from Alfred to indicate that he had heard of his mother's death and would come home, the family decided to proceed with the burial, and Mrs. Dahl's remains were accordingly taken to the Catholic cemetery at 7 o'clock Wednesday evening and laid to rest.
On Thursday morning another telegraph was received from the Bureau of Navigation, stating that the report that Albert's ship was at Hampton Roads was a mistake, and the the ship was in a French port instead.
A great number of relatives from Cumberland, Connellsville and other places attended the obsequies.
The bereaved husband and children desire to thank all who extended their comforting sympathy and helped in any way during their sorrow, and also for many beautiful floral tributes.
