MRS. MARY HULDA KIRKHAM

Widow of Thomas Kirkham, died Sunday evening at 7.40 o'clock at the 
home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Klyne Wilt, near 
Duncansville, after a lengthy illness. Death was attributed to uremic 
poisoning, which was aggravated by a fall, in which she was painfully 
hurt, at the home two months ago. She was a daughter of Sylvanus and 
Eliza J. Stiffler and was born at Canoe creek on April 28, 1869. On 
Jan. 14, 1902, at Hollidaysburg, she was united in marriage to Thomas 
Kirkham, who preceded her in death on Aug. 6, 1937. She is survived by 
four children, Fred E. Kirkham of Hollidaysburg, R.D., Paul T. Kirkham, 
Ruth L. Kirkham and Mrs. Mary H. Wilt, all of Duncansville; two 
brothers, W. Harry Stiffler of Duncansville and Charles S. Stiffler of 
Canoe Creek, and five grandchildren. She was a faithful member of the 
Duncansville Lutheran church and of the Women's Bible class of the 
Sunday school. Friends are being received at the Liebegott funeral home 
in Duncansville.
