Death also came in the storm of Saturday night, the victim being Mary
Geesey, a demented woman, who formerly lived at Geeseytown, but who of
late had made her home at the residence of Mr. Seth Campbell, near
Reservoir, along the line of the Hollidaysburg and Morrison's Curve
railroad.  On Saturday evening she wandered away from the house.  As
soon as her absence was noted search for her was instituted, but it
was not until Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock that her body was found
at the foot of the Reservoir mountain near John Duffy's place.  She
was cold in death.  The lifeless body was taken to Hollidaysburg and
placed in charge of Undertaker George V. Rollins by Mr. Campbell.
Coroner Poet was also notified of the occurrence.
