PASSING AWAY.
Those Who Have Joined the Innumerable Host Beyond the Silent River.

Mrs. Agnes Salsburg, of 904 Chestnut avenue, died very suddenly of
hemorrhage of the lungs at midnight on Monday at her home. She was in
the enjoyment of her usual health up until the hour stated, when the
hemorrhage began, and before medical aid could be summoned she had
breathed her last.

Mrs. Salsbury was born in Newburn, North Carolina, on September 28,
1826, and came to Altoona in December, 1866.  Her maiden name was
Taylor, and on September 28, 1842, she married Mr. Samuel Salsburg.
The result of this union was ten children, of whom but two are living.
These are Mr. Aden M. Salsburg, and Mrs. Clay Gossard, both of this
city. At the time of her death Mrs. Salsbury [sic] was 62 years, 3
months and 5 days old.  Previous to her coming to Altoona she was a
member of the Baptist church, but she did not connect herself with any
church in this city.
