MRS. SARAH McILNAY

  Mrs. Sarah McIlnay died Wednesday, July 17, at her home on Locust 
street, Roaring Spring, aged 57 years, 1 month and 15 days. Death was 
due to a complication of diseases from which she suffered for about one 
year.
  She was the only daughter of Levi and Elizabeth Albright, both 
deceased, and was born June 2, 1861, near Roaring Spring where she 
spent her entire life.
  In February, 1880, she was united in marriage with William McIlnay 
who died fifteen years ago, leaving her to care for eight children. 
These children are:  David, of Juniata; Jesse E., of Roaring Spring; 
Mrs. Clara Wilt and Mrs. Elizabeth Wolf, of Duncansville; Mrs. Pearl 
Ruggles, of East Freedom; Bertha, Mary and Samuel, at home. Three 
grandchildren were also cared for under her roof. Willie is grown up. 
Ethel and Russel while yet small will remember her as a kind, loving 
mother devoted to her home and family.
  Of the family of seven with whom she grew up the following preceded 
her to the great beyond:  Samuel R., Aaron, Obadiah and David. Two 
brothers, Albert and Charles Albright, and 16 grandchildren survive.
  She was a kind, helpful neighbor and the memory of "Aunt Sade" will 
live as a sweet influence in the hearts of her many relatives and 
friends for many generations.
