Death of Mrs. Elizabeth McDowell.

On Saturday morning last, at ten minutes of 10 o'clock, Mrs. Elizabeth
McDowell died at her residence in Logan township on the road leading
to the Pennsylvania railroad reservoir.  The deceased was aged 57
years, 8 months and 18 days, and was the wife of Mr. Alexander
McDowell.  She had been ill with typhoid fever for some time.  For
twenty-four years Mrs. McDowell had been a member of the Methodist
Episcopal church at Blair Furnace, and an evidence that her life had
been that of a Christian and that death held no terrors for her is
found in her dying words, "There is not a cloud in the way - all is
clear."  She was, indeed, an affectionate wife and a loving mother,
and to mourn for her there are left her sorrowing husband and two
children, Barr, a young man, married and residing near the family
residence, and Miss Sallie, who lives at home.  Both the husband and
son are employed in the boiler shop of the Pennsylvania railroad.
