Death of an Aged Lady.

Mrs. Anna Dalton died at her residence, 417 Ninth street, at 10.55
o'clock Tuesday morning, aged about 84 years.  Mrs. Dalton was a
native of county Longford, Ireland, where she grew to womanhood and
married her husband, John Dalton, who preceded her to the better
country a little more than twelve years ago, having died in the spring
of 1874.  With her husband she came to this country about the year
1834, and spent the greater portion of her subsequent life in this
state.  She was a resident of Altoona from 1863 until the time of her
decease.  Two children, John and James Dalton, both residents of this
city, survive to mourn their loss.

The deceased was a devout member of St. John's Catholic church and was
much respected by all who knew her.  She enjoyed during the whole of
her long life remarkable health, never having required the services of
a physician and never having taken any medicine.  Her death was due to
old age, a wearing out of the bodily faculties and her end was peace.
