A wide circle of friends will regret to learn of the death of Miss Elizabeth Dietzen, which occurred at the family home on Peter street last Monday evening. Miss Dietzen was a daughter of Mrs. Dietzen and the late Joseph Dietzen, and was born at Thompson Run. She was aged 31 years and had spent her entire life in this immediate vicinity. Ten years ago she was employed as a clerk in a Braddock store and one day was taken ill. She returned to her home and went to bed. It was discovered that she was suffering from a serious affection of the heart and that her condition was such that she would not be able to resume her position. During all these intervening years she has been confined to bed, but despite her confinement and her suffering she is said to have never uttered a murmur of discontent. She was radiant with sunshine and cheer. She spent much of the time at fancy work and had become very expert in the use of the needle. She was a member of St. Joseph's Catholic church. Her mother, two brothers and two sisters survive, John of Homestead, Peter and Barbara at home, and a married sister in Nebraska. The funeral services were conducted yesterday (Thursday) morning in St Agnes church, Thompson Run and burial was made in St. Agnes cemetery. (Duquesne Times, Nov 12, 1915, p 8)
