Drowned Remains Recovered.

  Says the Tyrone correspondent of the Tribune of today: Yesterday 
morning at 5 o'clock George Fuoss found the drowned remains of Miss 
Carrie, youngest daughter of James Meyers, deceased, near her home at 
Fuoss's Mill in lower Antis township.  She had been for the past two 
weeks suffering with a severe attack of typhoid fever and no doctor was 
called until a day or so ago.  It is supposed that during the night in 
her frenzy of brain she eluded the vigilant watch of her nurse and made 
for the stream in which she was found dead.  She was aged about 26 
years, and leaves an aged mother and three sisters - Mrs. Hutton, of 
Osceola; Cynthia, who has a home with her mother, and Mary, who has 
made her home with the family of John K. Ray in this place for many 
years; also an aged grandmother, Rachel Hillard, now in her 90th year.  
The sympathy of the community is extended to them in this the hour of 
their great affliction.  Funeral services will be held at her late home 
this afternoon at 3 o'clock.  Interment to follow in Mount Zion 
cemetery.
