DIED VERY SUDDENLY
Mrs. John Eckley Passed Away at her Home on Jefferson Avenue

  Mrs. Catharine Waring Eckley, wife of John Eckley, died at the family 
home, 959 Jefferson avenue, at fifteen minutes before 4 o'clock 
yesterday afternoon.  She had been ailing for a year or more from 
complicated troubles incident to old age, but she was quite able to go 
about, and a serious turn of her case was not anticipated by herself or 
her friends when the summons came.  The rupture of a blood vessel was 
the immediate cause of death.  She lived only a few minutes after it 
occurred.
  Deceased was the sister of William and the late Robert Waring, of 
Tyrone.  She is survived by her husband and one daughter, Miss Helen 
Eckley, her brother William Waring, another brother Rev. Edmund H. 
Waring, of Oskaloosa, Iowa, and one sister, Mrs. Mary Ann Lee, of Erie, 
Pa.  Besides her brother Robert, two sisters are dead.  She was born in 
England August 10, 1822, and at death was 80 years and two days old, 
having celebrated the four score years anniversary only last Sunday.  
In September 1885, Mr. and Mrs. Eckley and their daughter came direct 
from England to Tyrone, and they have resided here since that time.  
Deceased was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church from childhood 
and in Tyrone was on the First church roll.  She was a good Christian 
woman and a fine type of faithful and true womanhood.
  The funeral will be held at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon.  Services at 
the family home, and interment at Tyrone cemetery.
