MRS. HARRY L. HESSER.

  Mrs. Jane Myers Hesser, of 2522 Broad avenue, widow of late Harry L. 
Hesser, former ticket agent at Altoona, died at 6:30 Sunday evening at 
the Clearfield hospital.  Mrs. Hesser was admitted two weeks ago and on 
Saturday underwent a successful operation for goiter.  But the 
condition of her system was such that she could not stand the shock.
  Mrs. Hesser was a daughter of William and Sarah Myers and was born at 
Tyrone 51 years ago.  Thirty-three years ago she was married to Harry 
L. Hesser, who passed away two years ago.  Surviving are two children - 
Mrs. Carey Bradin, of Tyrone, and Miss Helen at home; also three 
sisters - Mrs. Sarah McLanahan, Miss Carrie and Mrs. Mary Swartz, all 
of Tyrone.  She was a devoted member of the Presbyterian church, always 
active in the various branches of church work.  Her beautiful Christian 
spirit made her ever ready to lend a helping hand or speak a kind word, 
and her passing away will be mourned by many.  Funeral arrangements 
will be announced later.
