MRS. HANNAH BATTON.

  Mrs. Hannah Batton died at her home at 1110 Church street yesterday, of old 
age.  She would have reached her 83rd milestone had she lived until February 
15.  She was born February 15, 1836, and was the last of her family to pass 
away, and therefore is not survived by any brothers or sister.  She is 
survived by two sons and three daughters: William, of Altoona; Thomas M., at 
home; Mrs. J. H. Walter, of Juniata, and Clara and Ella, at home.  She is 
also survived by eight grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.  The 
deceased was a life long and consistent member of the Baptist church of 
Hollidaysburg [missing text].  She was highly esteemed by a large circle of 
friends and was loved by all who knew her.  The funeral services will be held 
at her late home on Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, after which 
interment will be made in the Presbyterian cemetery.
