Jane Riddle – Mrs. Riddle had been visiting her daughter Mrs. John H. Martin for several weeks past and seemed in her usual health. Wednesday she spent the day with her brother, Mr. Mooney, at T. L. Ray’s. Thursday she was taken ill, and while all the known remedies for paralysis of the stomach were administered, nothing would avail, and she died Sunday night, aged almost 76 years.
The remains were taken to the residence of her son, Frank Riddle of Clarion township and on Wednesday laid away in the cemetery of New Rehoboth church. Mrs. Riddle has been a member of the Presbyterian church for many years.
The only one remaining of her family is James Mooney who makes his home with his daughter, Mrs. T. L. Ray. Mrs. Riddle leaves one son, Frank Riddle, and four daughters, two of them in Ohio, and Mrs. Jos. McElhatten of Beaver township and Mrs. J. H. Martin of Clarion.
A great many persons attended the funeral, conducted by Rev. Frank P. Britt, her former pastor, she having made of him that request some years ago.
