Death of Mrs. George H. Gwinn.

  Ellen P., beloved wife of George H. Gwinn, of 810 Howard avenue, died 
at half-past 9 o'clock on Saturday morning.  She had been in failing 
health for months past and, despite the fact that careful nursing and 
the best medical skill were brought to bear on the case, all efforts to 
restore her health proved futile, and her death resulted from a 
complication of diseases at the time above given.  She was about 45 
years of age and, beside her husband, is survived by five brothers - 
John, Robert and William, of Antis township; Wilson, of Logan township, 
and Blair, of Allegheny township, - and three sisters - Mrs. John A. 
Sprankle, Mrs. Allan McCartney and Mrs. Mary Nelson, all of this city.  
She was a consistent member of the First Presbyterian church and had 
been an active worker for many years.  The funeral services will be 
conducted at the late residence at 2 o'clock this afternoon by Rev. J. 
W. Bain.  At the conclusion of the services the funeral cortege will 
proceed to Fairview cemetery, where the interment will be made.
