Died at the Upper Forge

The death angel visited the home of Armstrong Dry at the "Upper
Forge", just east of Tyrone, at 5 o'clock this morning, and took
therefrom the wife and mother.  Mrs. Dry had been ailing for six
months and her death was caused by dropsy.

Born in Centre county, Dec. 24, 1865, the deceased was 28 years, 6
months and 29 days, when she passed away.  Her maiden name was Laura
Rine, and until shortly before her marriage she continued to reside in
Centre county.  After her union with Mr. Dry, they resided in Tyrone
and for the past few years at the "Upper Forge" near the Tyrone Iron
works where her husband is employed as a forgeman.

Surviving are her husband and three children, Edna, Margaret and
Joseph.  Several brothers and sisters are also left to mourn their
loss, among them Mrs. Amos Dry, of near Tyrone.  The bereaved family
have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in the death at so
early an age of the beloved wife and mother.

Funeral services will be held at 2.30 Tuesday afternoon at the late
home of the deceased.  Rev. R. H. Gilbert will officiate.  Interment
in Tyrone cemetery.
