On Saturday last, an old lady named Catharine Beard, wife of Mr. John Beard, of Scotch Valley, whilst engaged about her household duty, suddenly fell over on the floor and immediately expired. She was in her usual health, and had just requested a little girl to hand her a drink, but she didn’t live to take it. She was 71 years, 6 months and 12 days old, and left a large circle of friends to mourn her sudden departure. Additional Comments: The Altoona tribune.
