MRS. MARTHA BROTHERLINE

  Mrs. Martha Gregg Brotherline, widow of John Brotherline, one of the 
original members of the Blair county association, died yesterday at noon at 
her home, 415 Allegheny street, from the result of complications due to her 
advanced years.  She had been ill but two weeks.
  Mrs. Brotherline was the daughter of Henry H. and Sarah Kinne, prominent 
residents of Centre county, and was born at Potter's Mills, Centre county, on 
November 26, 1833.  She was united in marriage to John Brotherline in the 
year 1854 at Linden Hall.  Andrew Gregg, who for many years represented his 
district in the house of representatives at Washington and was also State 
senator in the early part of the last century, was a grandfather of the 
deceased.  She was also a great-granddaughter of General James Potter, an 
officer in the colonial army during the Revolutionary war, who served under 
General Washington.  She was a member of the Presbyterian church at 
Hollidaysburg and was a true Christian woman in every sense of the word, 
devoted wife and mother, who ever gave her chief attention to her family, and 
was greatly beloved by all who shared her acquaintance for her kindly, gentle 
manner.
  In addition to her husband, four sons have preceded her to the grave.  They 
were J. Irvin, John D., Willard and Ner.  Two sons survive: Dr. H. H. 
Brotherline, of Hollidaysburg, one of the leading medical practitioners of 
the county; and E. Gregg Brotherline of Pittsburg, where he is prominently 
identified with the steel interests.  Two grandchildren, John Brotherline of 
Irvona, and Miss Helen Brotherline also survive, as do these brothers and one 
sister: Henry and Edwin T. Kinne and Miss Emma H. Kinne; all of Milesburg, 
Centre county.
  The funeral services will be held from her late residence, 415 Allegheny 
street, on Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, followed by private interment in 
the Presbyterian cemetery.
