in county Kildare, Ireland, in the year 1810.  In 1832 she was married 
to John Duggan, and the fruit of that union was Mrs. Jerome Rooney, of

Dunn, to whom she bore a son, John, who died in Andersonville prison 
during the war of the rebellion, and a daughter, Mary, wife of John 
McLaughlin, of Hollidaysburg.  The deceased had been a resident of this 
community for forty years, was highly respected by her friends and 
neighbors, and was a devout member of St. Mary's Catholic church.  Rev. 
Father Donnelly will officiate at a requiem mass over the remains in 
St. Mary's church this morning at 9 o'clock.  Interment in the Catholic
