MRS. MARY J. OLMES.

  The many friends of Mrs. Frederick W. Olmes, who resided on the 
corner of Eleventh street and Twelfth avenue were greatly shocked 
yesterday morning to hear of her sudden decease a few hours before.  
Mrs. Olmes had been ailing for a few days but was not considered 
dangerously ill until Saturday night when she rapidly grew worse, dying 
at about 8 o'clock on Sunday morning.  She was a lady well known and 
popular among her associates.  On the 31st of July, 1858, Mary J. 
Hileman and Frederick W. Olmes were united in marriage and began their 
wedded life in Hollidaysburg, where they had resided until about 1866 
when they moved to Altoona.  Mrs. Olmes was born on the 18th of 
February, 1838.  Four children survive her, two of them so young that 
they will sadly miss a mother's care.  The funeral will take place on 
Tuesday, to leave the house at 10 o'clock.  Rev. Mr. Duffield will 
conduct the ceremonies.
