While living in Oxford, Pa., she attended Oxford Church of the Nazarene. After moving to Maryland, she attended Jane United Methodist Church in Rising Sun, Md. Lottie’s great joy was attending Bible classes in Oxford and Rising Sun and being with her family. Lottie loved doing research on genealogy. She has written a book on the family history of the McCoy’s and one on the Roten family. She did this before the computer age. Therefore, it involved a lot of research at libraries, cemeteries and courthouses. While visiting so many places, she met relatives she never knew existed and had many pen pals both in the United States and Europe.
Funeral services will be at Janes United Methodist Church, 213 Walnut St., Rising Sun, Md. on Friday July 1, at 11 a.m. Friends and family may call at the church beginning at 10 a.m. Burial will be in Fremont Cemetery.
