MRS. SUSAN BRALLIER.

  Falling down a flight of stairs at noon on Saturday, Mrs. Susan 
Brallier, within two months of being an octogenarian, sustained a 
concussion of the brain and an hour later expired in the home of the 
daughter with whom she resided, Mrs. W. K. Kauffman, 505 Fifth avenue, 
Juniata. The aged lady, who was the mother of Jesse C. Brallier, 
Superintendent of mails in the Altoona postoffice, had just stepped 
from her room and was descending to the family dining room in the 
residence of Mr. and Mrs. Kauffman when she fell, and members of the 
family who rushed to the stairway found her unconscious on the lower 
landing. She did not regain consciousness. She was a daughter of Mr. 
and Mrs. George Orner, both deceased, and was a native of Adams County. 
She was born on March 27, 1835, and would have been 80 years of age in 
March of this year had she lived. She was the last surviving member of 
her generation in the Brallier and Orner families. Reared to mature 
years in her father's household as it was at different times located in 
Adams, Indiana, and Cambria counties she became the wife of Daniel S. 
Brallier, a pastor of the Church of the Brethren, who died a year ago. 
Seven children survive.
