An Aged Lady Dies Suddenly.

  Mrs. Myers, wife of Rev. Grabill Myers, of Eldorado, died suddenly 
about 7 o'clock on Saturday morning of hemorrhage of the lungs.  Up to 
within a few minutes of her death she was in the enjoyment of 
reasonably good health, though having had several slight hemorrhages 
over a year ago.  The present attack was entirely unlooked for.  She 
was a little over sixty-eight years of age at her death.  She was long 
a consistent member of the Dunkard Church, and lived in the assurance 
that God fulfills His promises to those who trust in Him, and died 
knowing in whom she believed.  She raised eight children, four sons and 
four daughters, to manhood and womanhood, seven of whom, with her 
husband, survived her, feeling deeply their loss.  G. L. and John G. 
Myers, of this city, are two of her sons.  The funeral will take place 
from her late residence at Eldorado this (Monday) afternoon at half-
past 1 o'clock.  The remains will be interred at the Dunkard graveyard, 
near Duncansville.
