205 Third avenue, Saturday night of heart trouble after an illness of 
but a few hours.  She had attended the Gable & Co. anniversary on 
Thursday and contracted a slight cold.  She retired shortly after 8 
o'clock after she had complained to her daughter, Miss Eunice, of pains 
in the chest.  Fearing her mother might be contracting pneumonia she 
went to the office of Dr. Frank Keagy, on Fourth street, and on 
returning discovered her mother had passed away.  Dr. Galbraith was 
summoned pronouncing death was due to heart trouble.

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Norris.  She came to Altoona shortly 
after her marriage to Abraham Dean and has since resided in this city.

woman, Mrs. Dean was a consistent member of the Trinity Reformed 
church, and was quite active in church affairs.  She is survived by the

Anderson, of Williamsburg; Mrs. Agnes Parks, of Grafton; Mrs. Emma 
Meader, of 109 third avenue, and Ellsworth, of this city; Oscar, of
