MRS. JOHN LEWIS DEAD

  Our East Tyrone correspondent contributes the following: Thursday 
morning, at ten minutes before two o'clock, Emma Florence, wife of John 
Lewis, breathed her last.  Mrs. Lewis was born Feb. 18, 1862 in the 
Woomer Settlement near Bald Eagle Station.  She was therefore 30 years 
1 month and 26 days old.  She leaves a husband and three children: 
Oscar Ward, aged 4 years; Amber Ruth, 3 years; and Mabel Florence, 15 
months; also her father, mother, five sisters and two brothers to mourn 
their loss.  Mrs. Lewis has been a patient sufferer, having been unable 
to attend to her household duties for the last fifteen months, on 
account of that terrible disease consumption.  During her life she was 
for many years a consistent member of the M. E. Church.
  The funeral procession left East Tyrone at 10 o'clock a.m. on Saturday 
for Bald Eagle, where the services were conducted in the M. E. Church 
by Rev. Wm. Brill.  Interment in the Bald Eagle Cemetery.
