05/15/1922 - Popular School Teacher Passed Away Sun. Last - Miss Maude Pletcher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Pletcher of So. Second Street passed away at the Clearfield Hospital at 4 o'clock Sunday morning after a week's illness, following a surgical operation. Miss Pletcher had been a sufferer from appendicitis and serious stomach trouble for some time and an operation was decided upon by her physicians last week. She entered the Hospital on Sunday of last week and was operated upon on Monday, the appendix and tumorous growth being removed. She rallied for a time following the operation but suffered a sinking spell Saturday evening which continued until the end came. The deceased was a native of Centre County and came to Clearfield with her parents about sixteen years ago. She was employed as a teacher in the public schools shortly after coming here and when taken sick was engaged as head of the primary department at Market Street school. She was an exceptionally capable teacher and her death is a distinct loss to our schools. Miss Pletcher was a graduate of Lock Haven Normal School and of King's School of Oratory of Pittsburgh. She possessed exceptional ability as a reader of elocution and was for several years a member of the faculty of Susquehanna College of Music. An earnest, consistent member of Trinity Methodist Church since coming to Clearfield, she took quite an active interest in the activities of her church. She was greatly beloved in her home by her fellow teachers and in the school room, where her little charges simply worshipped her. Quiet and consuming, with a sunny disposition, she gave the best of her abilities in every task which fell to her hands, and her passing is a distinct loss to our community as she will be sadly missed in many circles where her thoughtful, unselfish kindnesses radiated sunshine into lives otherwise drab. She was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Pletcher, whose hearts are crushed by their grat loss, and who have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement. The funeral will be held from the Pletcher home Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev Horace Lincoln Jacobs will conduct the services and interment will be made in Hillcrest Cemetery

Reeve, Miss Lucille McGee, Wayne Fluck and Robert Mitchell then sang very effectively "Oh! Love That Will Not Let Me Go." Dr. E. C. Reeve, of the First Presbyterian church followed with a most eloquent and touching eulogy and tribute to the deceased.

The quartette then sang "Sometime We'll Understand."
