Sudden Death of an Estimable Lady.

  Nancy Margaret, wife of David F. McCartney, died at her late 
residence, along the Wopsononock road, near Miller's blacksmith shop, 
Logan township, at ten minutes past 2 o'clock yesterday morning.  Mrs. 
McCartney did her weekly washing Monday forenoon and prepared the 
family dinner, and was in her usual good health when her husband and 
children left her after dinner to attend to duties a short distance 
from home.  On returning to the house about half-past 4 o'clock in the 
evening the husband found his wife lying on the floor in the kitchen in 
an unconscious condition, in which state she remained until death.  The 
doctor was summoned and pronounced the cause of the trouble to be 
apoplexy.  Mrs. McCartney was 54 years of age last June, and leaves to 
mourn their loss, besides her husband, three children, two sons - Anson 
V. and Morrison M. - both at home, and Jessie, wife of Wells A. Furst, 
of Fairview; also two sisters, Mrs. Sarah Machin, of Johnstown, and 
Magdalene McIlwaine, and one brother, Henry Coleman, of Cherrytree, 
Indiana county.  The funeral will leave the house at 2 o'clock Thursday 
and proceed to Fairview church, where services will be held.  Interment 
in Fairview cemetery.
