ROARING SPRING RIPPLES.

  Mrs. Josephine Hurley, wife of William Hurley, died at her home here 
July 12, 1899, aged 72 years and 5 months.  Mrs. Hurley was born near 
Birmingham, Huntingdon county, and united with the Presbyterian church 
in her youth and ever afterward remained a member, although often 
deprived of attending her church on account of living away from it.  
She leaves a husband, William Hurley, who resides here; six daughters, 
Mrs. Duke Copeland, Mrs. A. B. Galbraith and Mrs. A. L. Bolger, wife of 
Postmaster Bolger, of Philipsburg; Mrs. Oliver Daniels and Mrs. H. M. 
Fleck, of Altoona; Mrs. M. V. Posk, of Pittsburg, and two sons, William 
Hurley, jr., of Loysburg, and George Hurley, of Philipsburg.  They were 
all at the funeral of their mother, which occurred on Friday afternoon 
last.  Rev. James R. Sample preached the funeral sermon.  She was a 
kind Christian lady, beloved by all who knew her.  Mr. Hurley returns 
his sincere thanks to his neighbors for their kind attentions during 
his wife's illness and after her death.
