womanhood in that valley. Just a month ago, on September 14 last, Mr.

which took place in 1871. Most of their life together has been spent in 
Altoona, though for several years they were residents of Tyrone, Mr. 
Bush being then foreman at the repair shops of the Tyrone division, P. 
R. R.
  She is survived by her husband, and three children: Mrs. J. C. 
Prough, Roberta and Edward C., all of Altoona. She is also survived by 
a half-brother, Washington Orr, of Nebraska and the following brothers 
and sisters: Samuel K., James C., and U. Grant, of Altoona, and Miss 
Permilla, of Sinking Valley. She was a member of Second Presbyterian 
church. Funeral services were conducted at the late home Wednesday
