EXPIRED IN MOMENT, 
Mrs. John Morrisey Was Suddenly Stricken
 
  The trite saying that "in the midst of life, we are death," had full 
exemplification of its truth in the sudden passing of Mrs. Hannah 
Morrissey, wife of John Morrissey on Wednesday evening.  It was while 
the excellent lady was apparently in the enjoyment of perfect health 
that the spark of life was snuffed out in a moment and gloom was cast 
over a household in which she had so recently been contributing 
cheeriness.  Mrs. Morrissey had just returned from church and seemed to 
be in the best of health.  Arriving at her home on Eighteenth Street, 
she was summoned to the home of her son next door, on account of 
sickness in the latter's family.  She entered the sick room in good 
spirits and spoke a few words, then sat down upon a chair, and a few 
moments later suddenly expired, her death occurring at 9:30 o'clock.  
The deceased was aged 55 years and four months.  She is survived by her 
husband, John Morrissey, and the following sons and daughters:  Mrs. 
Frank Lehner, Mrs. Emory Woomer, Mrs. Clyde Little, and William and 
Frank Morrissey, all of Tyrone, Pa.; and Charles and Grover Morrissey 
of East Pittsburgh, and Arthur Morrissey of Orville, Ohio.  Also 
surviving her are the following brothers and sisters:  William 
Stonebraker of Blue Ball; Mrs. Elizabeth Lehman of Oil City;  Mrs. 
David Ike of Clearfield; Mrs. Daniel Vaughn; of Sandy Ridge and Mrs. 
George Heidler, of Claysburg.  Mrs. Morrissey was a faithful member of 
the United Brethren Church, a true Christian woman, as she was a loving 
and devoted wife and mother.  The funeral announcement will be made 
tomorrow.
