Mrs. Elisabeth Gority.

  On Friday morning last Mrs. Elizabeth Gority died at her home No. 
2500 West Chestnut avenue, after a long and painful illness and during 
the latter months of which she was confined to her bed.  Death was the 
result of cancer of the stomach.  Mrs. Gority was a native of Ireland, 
having been born there in 1833.  She came to this country in 1853.  Her 
husband died in 1881 and the only near relatives now living is a 
daughter Miss Maggie Gority and a sister, Mrs. Malone, of Dudley, 
Huntingdon county.  During her long illness she was tenderly cared for 
by her loving daughter and all that could possibly tend to alleviate 
her suffering was done.  Mrs. Gority was a member of St. John's 
Catholic church, an estimable lady, a devoted wife, an affectionate 
mother.
