HOLLIDAYSBURG HAPPENINGS.

  The sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. Clarissa, wife of Mr. Blair 
Brua, which occurred at her home in Frankstown township on Sunday 
afternoon at 1 o'clock, was a sad stroke to her family and friends.  
Mrs. Brua, on Friday last was, to all appearances, in the enjoyment of 
her usually good health.  On the evening of that day she was taken 
suddenly ill and died as stated at 1 o'clock Sunday.  She was the 
daughter of Mr. Philip Hileman, and had been married but a few years.  
She was an excellent woman, a devoted wife and an affectionate and 
faithful mother.  A true Christian woman, she was from early life a 
sincere and consistent member of the Presbyterian church and was an 
earnest worker in her Master's cause.  Her untimely death will be 
seriously felt by those associated with her in Christian work.  Besides 
a grief stricken husband she is survived by a family of five children, 
the oldest of whom, a daughter, is 16 years of age.  The funeral will 
take place this morning from her late home in the Lower Loop, this 
forenoon at 10 o'clock.  Interment in the Presbyterian cemetery.
