Mrs. Etta Murray Gordon.

  At the residence of her uncle, Mr. H. B. Jacobs, 1004 1/2 Fifth 
avenue, at 9:45 o'clock last evening, Mrs. Etta Murray Gordon departed 
this life and entered into rest, aged 27 years.  Her illness had been 
quite prolonged, and during part of the time her sufferings were very 
intense.  The immediate cause of her death was pernicious aenaema 
[anemia].  Her passing away was tranquil and painless.  Arrangements 
for the funeral have not yet been completed, but full particulars will 
be published in this paper to-morrow.

Funeral of Mrs. Gordon.

  Funeral services for Mrs. Etta Virginia Gordon will be held at the 
home of her uncle, Mr. H. B. Jacobs, 1004 1/2 Fifth avenue, at 3 
o'clock this afternoon.  Mrs. Gordon was the daughter of John B. 
Murray, deceased, and his wife, (now Mrs. Cynthia Worley).  She was a 
native of Altoona, and made her home here until a few years ago, when, 
with her mother, she moved to Pittsburg, where she was married to Mr. 
W. J. Gordon about a year ago.  Previous to the time of moving away 
from this city she was a member of the Second Presbyterian church.  
Services will be conducted by Rev. Henry Howard Stiles, assisted by 
Rev. Thomas S. Wilcox.  Interment at Fairview.
