MRS. EMMA CORNELIUS
 
  Mrs. Emma Cornelius of 1818 Tenth Avenue, died at the Altoona 
Hospital yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, after a few hours illness.  
She was stricken with apoplexy at 9 o'clock yesterday morning while 
engaged in her household duties, and was taken to the hospital.  Mrs. 
Cornelius was the widow of Robert H. Cornelius, who died in May 1922.  
She was born at Milroy, Pa., September 6, 1852, and had been a resident 
of Altoona for thirty-five years.  A brother, Theophilus B. Civils of 
Roselawn, and a foster sister, Mrs. Millie Shaver, with whom she 
resided, survives.  She was a member of The First United Methodist 
Church.  Owing to the absence of the pastor, who is attending 
conference, the services, which will be held at the home Monday 
afternoon at 2 o'clock, will be conducted by the Reverend E. F. 
Nonemaker, of the Lakemont Church of God.  Interment in Fairview 
cemetery.
