DEATH RECORD.
Death of Mrs. Hannah M. Gable

Mrs. Hannah Mercer Gable, mother of William F. Gable, died very
suddenly at the residence of her son, 1121 Fourteenth avenue, at noon
yesterday.  Two days ago Mrs. Gable was seized with an attack of
pneumonia, which shortly, because of her advanced age, took a serious
turn.  Her death, however, was entirely unexpected.

The deceased was in her 72d year, having been born in Chester county
February 11, 1825.  She was the daughter of John and Elizabeth
Wallerton, and was married in the county of her nativity to Isaac
Gable during January, 1852.  Mrs. Gable resided in this city since
March, 1884, at which time she came here and took up her residence
with her son, William F. Gable.

Beside her aged husband she is survived by one son, William F. Gable,
and one daughter, Mrs. Anna, all of whom reside at No. 1121 Fourteenth
avenue.  One brother, William L. Wallerton, of Philadelphia, is also
yet living.

The deceased was a member of the Society of Friends, to which her
family belonged for seven generations.  Her life was characterized by
broad benevolence and unobtrusive charity, which made her universally
beloved.  In her relations to others she was kindly and generous
almost to a fault, while in the family circle her life was
characterized by that maternal and wifely devotion which is the
outcome of perfect love.  Her many friends in this city and elsewhere
will hear of her sudden demise with keen regret.

Funeral services will be held at the late home, 1121 Fourteenth
avenue, at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon.  The services will be in charge
of Rev. Allan Sheldon Woodle.  The interment will be made in Fairview
cemetery.

floral offerings beautiful and appropriate.
