HOLLIDAYSBURG HAPPENINGS
ANOTHER ESTIMABLE LADY DEAD.

  The announcement that Mrs. S. P. McFadden had died quite suddenly at 
9 o'clock on Monday evening cast a gloom over our whole town.  Coming 
as it did on the same day that closed forever from our view Mrs. H. A. 
Irwin, made the shock doubly severe.  Both ladies were highly respected 
for their many Christian virtues, and by their deaths a void is left in 
both the families that can never be filled.  The time has not yet been 
announced for the funeral of Mrs. McFadden to take place.
