Death of Mrs. Sarah Gasdorf.

  Mrs. Sarah Gasdorf, an aged resident of this city, died at the 
residence of her daughter, Emma Gasdorf, 706 Twelfth street, at 2 
o'clock yesterday morning.  The deceased was born May 18, 1812, and was 
consequently aged 88 years, 6 months and 2 days.  She was twice 
married, her first husband being John Duncan, there being seven 
children born to this union, two of whom - Mrs. Rosanna Gable and 
Steven Duncan - survive and live in this city.  Her second husband was 
John Gasdorf, by whom she had three children, Emma and John F. Gasdorf, 
the survivors, living in this city.  The deceased was a consistent 
believer in the Catholic faith and was faithful in her churchly duties 
until the infirmities of age compelled her to take her bed.  She was 
well known throughout the city and had a large circle of friends, who 
unite in extending sympathy to the bereaved children.
  The funeral will leave the late residence at half past 8 o'clock on 
Saturday morning, to proceed to St. Mary's church where, at 9 o'clock, 
requiem mass will be celebrated.  Interment in St. Mary's cemetery.
