MRS. HANNAH CRISSMAN.

  Yesterday evening at 6:30 o'clock, Mrs. Hannah Crissman, wife of Frederick 
Crissman, died of old age at her home, 822 Fourth avenue.  The deceased was 
born at Shaver's Creek, Huntingdon county, March 25, 1815, and was thus aged 79 
years, 4 months and 14 days.  She was married in June, 1835, to Frederick 
Crissman, to which union eleven children were born, five of whom, together with 
the husband and father, survive to mourn their great loss.  The children are:  
Amanda, at home; Mattie, living at Indian Run, Mercer county; Scott and Frank 
P., of this city, and Rev. F.H.Crissman, of Indiana county.  In 1865 Mrs. 
Crissman removed with her husband from Huntingdon county to the Crawford farm 
in Pleasant Valley, and in 1872 they came to this city, having in the meantime 
lived for three years in Missouri.  She was a member of Christ's Second 
Lutheran church almost from the time of its organization and was an earnest 
Christian woman, a faithful wife and loving mother.  The funeral will take 
place on Friday, but the hour was not decided upon last night.  Interment in 
Oak Ridge cemetery.
