MRS. ELIZABETH CURRAN.

  Mrs. Elizabeth Curran (Ackers), sister of Jacob Ackers, proprietor of 
the Woldorf [sic] hotel, this city, died at her late residence, 226 
Stratford avenue, Pittsburg, yesterday morning.  She was born in 
Bedford, November 13, 1845, and resided there until 12 years of age, 
when the family moved to Dudley.  While in Dudley she married William 
Curran, in October, 1871, who preceded her to the grave ten years ago.  
She moved from Dudley to Houtzdale, from which point she, with her 
family, later moved to Pittsburg, where Mr. Curran was engaged in the 
hotel business until his death.  Mrs. Curran was in failing health for 
the past ten months, suffering from a complication of diseases.  She is 
survived by the following children: Lillian and Frank, at home; Mrs. 
James Kelley, Harry and Edward Curran, all of Pittsburg, and Augustus, 
of Steubenville, O.  These brothers and sisters also survive: Mrs.

News, Va.  The funeral will take place from her late home in Pittsburg 
tomorrow morning.  Mrs. Curran has been a member of Sacred Hearth Roman 
Catholic church of Pittsburg since residing in East Liberty, from which
