Mrs. Catharine Myers

  At 12.25 O'clock Sunday morning occurred the death of Mrs. Catharine 
Myers, at the home of her brother, David Branstetter, on Main street, 
from a stroke of paralysis.  She retired in her usual health on 
Saturday evening, but about eleven o'clock, Mr. Branstetter heard moans 
and heavy breathing issuing from the bed chamber of his sister and on 
going in to ascertain the cause, found her unable to get to bed.  He 
assisted her and wanted to dispatch for a doctor but she insisted that 
there was no use and shortly after, at the time mentioned above she 
breathed her last.
  The deceased was born on her father's farm in Dauphin county, sixteen 
miles east of Harrisburg, January 24, 1811 being therefore at time of 
demise, 81 years and 6 days of age.  From 1838 up until several years 
ago her home was in Warriorsmark Valley.  She was a conscientious 
christian all through life, a loving wife, tender mother and true 
friend.  He many friends will indeed grieve for her presence among 
them.  To mourn their loss she leaves two sons, Henry Myers , of this 
place and Jerry Ike, of Altoona: also one brother and four sisters, who
