Mrs. J. A. Hiller Dead.

  Mrs. Margaretha, the very estimable wife of John A. Hiller died at 
her home on Main street yesterday morning at about four o'clock, it 
being the date of her birth, after a lingering illness with heart 
trouble.  The deceased was born at Pfefferbach, Prussia, February 7, 
1827, and was in consequence 65 years of age at the time of death.  She 
came to America in July, 1847, and settled in Pittsburg, Pa.  On May 6, 
1852 she was united in marriage to John A. Hiller, and on April 4, 
1855, she with her husband removed to Tyrone, where they have since 
resided.  Two sons and one daughter have preceded their mother to the 
grave.  To mourn their loss, are the grief stricken husband, three 
daughters, one son and two brothers, all of whom have the heartfelt 
sympathy of the entire community.  the daughters are, Wilhelmina and 
Henrietta, who make their home with their parents, and Mrs. John 
Bottger, of Fort Wayne, Indiana; the son William F., who also makes his 
home with his parents; the brothers are, Jacob Braun, of Louisville, 
Kentucky, and Nicholas Braun, of Pittsburg, Pa.  She was a true 
Christian lady and for many years was a faithful member of the First 
English Lutheran church.  She will indeed be missed from our midst, 
especially from the fireside which by her pleasant manner and loving 
nature was always so bright and cheerful.  The remains will be taken to 
the English Lutheran church tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock, where 
the pastor, Rev. A. S. Fichthorn will conduct the funeral services.  
The interment will be made in Tyrone cemetery.
