Peter S. Widmyer, aged 80, retired merchant and one of the communities' oldest and most highly respected citizens, died suddenly Tuesday afternoon about 3:30 at his home here. More than a year ago Mr. Widmyer suffered a paralytic stroke but it was believed he had almost entirely recovered from its effects. On the day of his death he remained in bed due to a cold and slight headache. He collapsed while talking to his sister and was dead when a doctor arrived.
Mr. Widmyer conducted a general merchandise business here for 30 years from 1900 to 1930, and prior to going into business for himself worked for 11 years in the general store operated by the late C.W. Johnson. He was an active member of the United Brethren church and a member of its choir for a number of years. He was also a member of the Junior Order, which organization conducted burial services at the grave.
Two children survive, a son Russell, and a daughter Mrs. J. L. Wash. Two brothers, T. Jefferson and Samuel W., and a sister Mrs. R.N. Widmyer, also survive. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the United Brethren Church, conducted by the pastor Rev. J.R. Collis. Interment was in Greenway cemetery.³
