Campbell, Blanche - 1895

Miss Blanche Campbell, aged about fifteen years, was stricken with scarlet fever last Saturday evening, and in spite of all medical skill died early Tuesday morning.  As she had been coasting Saturday afternoon, it is supposed her death, so soon at least, was the result of exposure.  Her father is in Indiana.  The family have the sympathy of all in their sad affliction.

Beal, Margaret M. - 1895

It is with sorrow that we record the death of Mrs. Margaret E. Beal, sister of Mrs. G. G. Sloan, of Clarion.  The deceased was born near West Monterey, this county, May 5th, 1863 and died at Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh, on January 10th, 1895, aged 31 years, 9 months and 3 days.

About four years ago she had a very severe attack of typhoid fever. For three weeks she spoke not a word and her life was despaired of.  She rallied at last, but the dregs of the dread disease brought on trouble that necessitated an operation.  By the advice of her attending physician and relatives she went to Mercy Hospital.  When operating the doctors found that she was beyond human aid.  Three days later ended her long years of suffering.

She as a loving daughter, an affectionate sister and kind to all.  Despite her sufferings she was almost always cheerful.  Best of all she was a Christian and died perfectly resigned to God’s will.

Her remains were brought home and interred on Saturday, January 12, mourned by many friends and relatives.  Her four brothers, Daniel, John, Isaac, and Smiley Snider were all pall bearers.  The services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. B. E. Shaner, who preached the funeral discourse from Psalm 15, and 11th verse: “Thou wilt show me the path of life.  In thy presence there is fullness of joy.  At thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore.”  Rev. H. E. Wieand, of Clarion, was present and assisted in the services.

Wilson, Cassius M. - 1895

The community of Strattanville was startled Thursday last by the announcement of the death of Cassius M. Wilson, eldest son of Mr. Stewart Wilson, of that place which occurred Thursday, January 10th.

The deceased had been troubled some with rheumatism a week or more prior to his death but not really ill. A few days before his death he suffered an attack of acute pneumonia which resulted fatally.

He was aged about 48 years and was single, but leaves a wide circle of relatives who mourn his sudden demise. The funeral took place last Saturday, Rev. L. J. Shoemaker of Clarion, officiating, and the remains were interred in the Strattanville cemetery.
