OBITUARY of Mary A. Swick. "Mrs. Mary A. Swick, aged 77 years, widow of D. W. Swick, a former well known resident of North Sewickley township and Beaver Falls, died Friday night, Dec. 26, 1919, at the home of her son, Dr. J. Howard Swick, 1318 Eighth avenue, Beaver Falls. Mrs. Swick had been ill ten days from pneumonia. Born in North Sewickley township, she was the daughter of Rev. Samuel Boots, a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church, who came from England when 12 years of age with his parents and settled in North Sewickley township, and during the past eight years had made her home with her son, Dr. Swick. She was a devout member of the First Methodist Episcopal church. One sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Liebendorfer, of Wurtemburg, and four sons: Samuel O. Swick and George Swick, of North Sewickley township; Dr. J. Howard Swick, of Beaver Falls, and William A. Swick, of Boston, Mass., and two daughters, Mrs. J. J. Stuber and Mrs. E. L. Frazier, of Beaver Falls, survive.
"The funeral services, held Sunday afternoon at the home of her son, Dr. J. Howard Swick, on Eighth avenue, were attended by many of the local church members and neighbors, her relatives and friends from the country districts. A choir composed of singers from the First Methodist church here, sang two appropriate selections. Rev. Jackson and Rev. Fornear took part in the services, alternating in paying tribute to the deceased. Rev. Jackson, whose acquaintance covered a longer period and was brought into more intimate spiritual relationship with the departed, dwelt particularly upon her place in the family and in the religious life of her community. His tribute to mother expressed in general terms, was significantly appropriate and tenderly applied to the mother who had now laid down her life burdens, after a service well rendered. Dr. Fornear's remarks were on the immortality of the soul and the assurance and hope of a blessed hereafter.
"The four sons, Samuel, George, William and Dr. J. H., and her two sons-in-law, John Stuber and Edward Frazier, were the pall-bearers. The remains were taken to the Concord church burial ground, where private burial was made, near the church where for years she had worshiped and where the remains of her husband only a short time before were laid to rest."
