HOLLIDAYSBURG HAPPENINGS.

Mrs. Margaret, wife of Ferdinand Bender, died Wednesday at 12 o'clock,
aged 50 years.  She died of erysipelas, which came from a slight cut
in a finger, which she received by some means, while working in the
garden about two weeks previous to her death, became poisoned.  Mrs.
Bender came to America from Germany, the place of her birth, in
company with her parents, when a child 4 years old, and she has been a
resident of Hollidaysburg ever since.  She was a daughter of Mr. Simon
Diehl, now deceased.  She was 50 years and 13 days old, and besides a
sister, who is the wife of Mr. Gabriel Bender, leaves a husband and
five sons and two  daughters to mourn their loss, which will be
severely felt.  She was a kind and affectionate mother.  Peace to her
ashes.
