RECENT DEATHS.

  On Sunday morning at 3 o'clock Mrs. Nettie R. Johnston, beloved wife 
of Mr. John M. Johnston, died at her home, No. 1121 Seventeenth avenue.  
Her illness was brief in duration and the shock of her death was all 
the more painful to those relatives and friends who had done all 
possible to relieve her sufferings.  Death always brings sorrow in its 
train yet this sorrow is in a sense made less acute by the knowledge 
that the one who has been taken is prepared for the great change; that 
she had been a dutiful daughter and none the less a dutiful and 
affectionate wife.  Such was the lady who has been summoned to join the 
innumerable throng of those who have gone before and her sorrowing 
relatives have the consolation which is found in the fact that she was 
ready.
  Mrs. Johnston was in the 24th year of her age, was the daughter of 
George W. and A. A. Amheiser, of 1123 Seventeenth avenue, and was born 
in Williamsburg, this county.  Since she was 14 years of age she was a 
member of the First Lutheran church, of Altoona, and was an earnest 
Christian woman.  On the 28th of June, 1888, she was married to Mr. 
John M. Johnston, of this city, who survives her, as do also two sons, 
the youngest being but a few days old.  Her parents are also left to 
mourn her death, as do also five brothers and two sisters.  The funeral 
will take place on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.  Services at the 
house.  Interment in Fairview cemetery.
