The Altoona tribune. (Altoona, Pa.), August 26, 1858
Died in this place, on the 15th inst., of Bronchial Consumption, Miss Mary Ann
McCormick. 
Thrice within a short time has death entered the little circle of which the deceased
was a member. First a daughter and sister, a lovely Christian, was called, cut down
like a rose in full bloom, by the same fell destroyer, consumption. Then death laid
his hand upon the husband and father. His sickness was protracted and painful,
afflicted as he was by cancer. Now the third time the Master comes and lays his hand
upon the elder of the two remaining daughters and sisters, leaving the widowed
mother and a sister and brother to mourn their loss. But they mourn not as those who
have no hope. The deceased had for a considerable time been a Consistent member of
the Christian church, and died in the full triumphs of the christians’ faith. Her
last words were, “ Lord Jesus come quickly.” The evidence of a peaceful death and
the index to a happy, glorious immortality.
