EATON -  SUDDEN DEATH - It is our melancholy duty to announce the 
sudden death of Mrs. Susan, wife of Mr. B. C. Eaton, and daughter of 
Mr. William Johnston, of this place. Mrs. Eaton arose on Saturday 
morning, in her usual health, and after performing her household 
avocations, about 9 o'clock, complained of feeling unwell, and in about 
forty minutes thereafter, she was a corpse. She was an estimable 
daughter, wife and mother, and our people sympathize with her sorrowing 
friends, in their sad affliction. We presume apoplexy was the cause of 
her death-her age was about thirty-seven years. On Sunday afternoon, a 
funeral discourse was preached in the Methodist Church, by Rev. H. C. 
Pardoe, and her remains followed to the Presbyterian Cemetery, by an 
immense number of sorrowing relatives and friends. We sympathize with 
her afflicted husband, the motherless babe, and the numerous friends-
but their loss is her gain. We should all be prepared for a sudden 
entrance into that other state of existence, where sickness and sorrow, 
pain and death, never enter.

The Register, Hollidaysburg, Pa., August 25, 1875
