Lebanon, March 6
Mrs. Amanda Woomer, aged 75 years, an eccentric widow of Myerstown, this
county, died today as the result of a ruptured blood vessel sustained by
shoveling snow at her home. Her first husband John Ritzshaw enlisted
in the Union army shortly after their marriage and she followed him over
several battlefields and acted as a nurse. Upon his death, Mrs. Ritzshaw
married Orlando Woomer, whose name, according to the will left by the widow,
will appear on the family tombstone, but whose body is to be separated from
hers by a brick wall. She had her grave dug a year ago to make sure the wall
would be built. Cruel treatment was alleged by Mrs. Woomer for her strange
act.

Lebanon Pa., March 7 - Mrs. Amanda Woomer, seventy-five years old, died at her home at Myerstown from the effects of a ruptured blood vessel received while shoveling snow at her home. Mrs. Woomer insisted upon living alone and doing her own work. Her only companion for several years was a small dog. Just before the Civil War she married John Ritzshaw, and when he enlisted she refused to leave him and accompanied him on several battlefields, where she is accredited with deeds of heroism and mercy. Her husband was killed in battle and upon her return home she married Orlando Woomer, who died three years ago. Mrs. Woomer alledged that he treated her so badly that she ordered her own grave dug a year ago to make sure that a brick wall would separate her body from his. Her will also provides that none of her estate, valued at several thousand dollars, shall go to any church, but to several orphanages.
