PASSING AWAY.
Those Who Have Joined the Innumerable Host Beyond the Silent River.

Mrs. Mary Beamer, widow of the late Isaac F. Beamer, died at her
residence, No. No. [sic] Eighth avenue, at 1.20 o'clock Sunday
afternoon after a lingering illness, aged 46 years.  Mrs. Beamer,
whose maiden name was Kane, was born in county Waterford, Ireland and
came to this country with her father, her mother having died when she
was quite young.  Her home was in Huntingdon until May 15, 1866, when
she was united in marriage with Isaac F. Beamer and took up her
residence in Hollidaysburg where she lived for almost a score of
years.  Her happy married life was terminated November 3, 1879 by the
death of her husband, a man whose memory is cherished by many of our
readers.  Mrs. Beamer was the mother of four children, two of whom
preceded her to the spirit land.  Two, Maggie K. and Ella Blanche,
survive to mourn the loss of a loving mother.  The deceased had been a
resident of this city for about three years, during the greater
portion of which time she was in failing health.  Her disease
developed into consumption, and since last August her sufferings were
often great.  She was ready for the change and departed this life in
the full hope of a blissful immortality.
