MRS. NORA (LEIGHTY) MARBLE

Wife of Samuel Marble, died this morning at her home, 1120 Fourth 
avenue, Duncansville, death coming suddenly at 5.45 o'clock just as she 
was about to arise to prepare breakfast. Mrs. Marble had been in 
failing health for some time with a heart condition. About eleven weeks 
ago she suffered a fall down the stairs and to better her condition the 
bedroom was moved to the first floor. As she attempted to arise this 
morning her husband noticed her slump and hurriedly called a physician, 
who pronounced her dead and attributed her death to a heart ailment. 
Mrs. Marble was a daughter of Henry and Anna Elizabeth Leighty and was 
born at Puzzletown on June 16, 1889. She was united in marriage with 
Samuel Marble on April 24, 1909. Surviving are the husband, one 
daughter, Mrs. Charles Stoltz of Duncansville, and these brothers and 
sisters: Jeremiah Leighty of St. Joseph, Mo., Mrs. Mollie Treml of 
Lilly, Mrs. Martha Shaw of Altoona, Boyd Leighty of Johnstown, Wilbur, 
Charles and Mrs. Nettie Gill, all of Duncansville. She was formerly a 
member of the Roaring Spring Mennonite church but for many years 
attended the Presbyterian church in Duncansville, where she was a 
member of the Ladies Aid society. Friends are being received at the 
home where the body may be viewed after tomorrow morning.
