Sudden Death

  The uncertainty of life's tenure was perhaps never more forcibly 
illustrated than in the death of Mrs. Catharine Foust, wife of Jacob 
Foust, of Gaysport, which occurred in this place last Thursday.  The 
deceased lady was walking in a funeral procession, on its way to the 
Baptist cemetery, and when opposite the residence of Mr. Jno. 
Bollinger, on Penn street, she was stricken with apoplexy and fell upon 
the pavement in an insensible condition.  She was carried into the 
residence of Mr. Bollinger and medical aid immediately summoned, but 
before the arrival of the physician the vital spark had fled and her 
immortal spirit winged its way to the realms of Him who gave it.  She 
was about fifty years of age, and leaves a husband and several children 
to mourn their sudden and irreparable loss.
