Death of Mrs. A. M. Lloyd.

  Our Hollidaysburg correspondent writes: Death has again visited our 
community, and this time has taken Mrs. Mary, the wife of our esteemed 
fellow citizen, Captain A. M. Lloyd, of Gaysport.  The death, although 
for the past week was entirely not unexpected, occurred yesterday 
morning a few minutes after 4 o'clock.  Mrs. Loyd [sic] was seized with 
a chill about six weeks ago, but being a woman of robust health and 
vigor, she herself attached but little importance to it, and insisted 
on pursuing her usual household duties.  But the malady continued and 
finally terminated with catarrhal pneumonia and pleurisy, which 
resulted fatally.  Mrs. Lloyd was a kind and affectionate wife and 
mother and was endeared to all with whom she associated.  She was 
dearly attached to her home, and being of a naturally retiring 
disposition, mingled but little in society circles.  She was a good 
Christian woman and unwavering in her faith.  She was a daughter of Mr. 
and Mrs. William Barr and was born near Blairsville, Indiana county, on 
the 24th of September, 1824.  She arrived at this place with her 
parents, who settled in Gaysport, in March, 1839.  She was happily 
united in marriage with Captain A. M. Lloyd on February 4, 1847.  She 
is survived, in addition to her bereaved husband, by one son, Mr. 
Thomas P. Lloyd, and two daughters, Mrs. John P. Reilley, of 
Philadelphia, and Mrs. T. Dal. Wilkins, of Altoona.  Mr. S. S. Barr is 
a brother and Mrs. George W. Porter, Mrs. C. A. McFarland and Mrs. 
William McNamara are sisters of the deceased.  The funeral will take 
place Monday afternoon.  Services will begin at 2 o'clock at the 
residence of Captain Lloyd on Newry street, Gaysport.  Interment in the 
Presbyterian cemetery.
