BLAIR Death of the Wife of the Superintendent of the Tyrone Division. Our Tyrone correspondent writes as follows: In yesterday's Topics we noted the fact that while Mrs. Blair, wife of S. S. Blair, superintendent of the Tyrone division, was on a mission of sympathy to her friends, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Mitchell, at their home on West Juniata street, she was stricken with apoplexy. She was afterward removed to her home on Lincoln avenue in an unconscious state, from which she never recovered, and died at 10.20 Tuesday evening. Her maiden name was Adeline Elizabeth Wolf, and she was born at Gettysburg, November 9, 1833. On October 18, 1859, at Columbia, Pennsylvania, she was united in marriage to S. S. Blair, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Walter Powell, of Lancaster. In 1873 she, with her husband, removed to his town, where they have resided ever since, her husband occupying the position of superintendent of the Tyrone division, Pennsylvania railroad. To this union seven children were born, three of whom - Minnie B., Daisy and Grant Lincoln - have gone before. Those surviving are the husband and four sons - Charles F., manager of Blair Bros. coal interests; Horace C., at present a student in the law school of the University of Pennsylvania; Louis B., in charge of Blair Bros.' min at Retort, Pa., and S. Howard, a student at Pennsylvania State college. And thus has passed to the other shore one who had filled a large measure of public confidence and esteem, a loving and affectionate wife, a kind and indulgent mother and an unostentatious Christian lady. Brief funeral services will be conducted at the late residence of the deceased on Lincoln avenue on Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock by her pastor, Rev. J. R. Davies. Interment in Tyrone cemetery.
