Sister Edna

  Sister Edna, of the Order of St. Joseph, at Baden, Pa., died at the 
convent at that place, at 6 o'clock on Wednesday evening, of 
tuberculosis.  The deceased was formerly Miss Cora Hart, a daughter of 
William and Carrie Hart, of Hollidaysburg, and was aged 30 years.  She 
received her education at St. Mary's Roman Catholic schools of this 
place and in her early years became a member of St. Mary's Catholic 
church.  Thirteen years ago she entered the convent at Baden.  She was 
a most estimable young woman, greatly beloved by a wide circle of 
friends, for her many excellent qualities and by whom her untimely 
death will be greatly mourned.  She is survived by her parents and two 
sisters.  The funeral took place yesterday, the services being held at 
the mother house and the interment was made in the convent cemetery.  
High mass, for the repose of the soul, will be celebrated at St. Mary's 
church here, on Monday morning.
