  Miss Nora May Schank was born August 8, 1863, at the home now 
occupied by Mr. Adam Owdenwalder, on Twelfth avenue, in your city, and 
died Monday morning at 5.20 o'clock at the home of her husband on Main 
street, after some two months' illness from that fell destroyer, 
consumption, aged 27 years, 3 months and 9 days.  On the 18th day of 
August, 1885, at this place, she was united in marriage to William H. 
Scullin, who survives her, no children having been born to them.  Mr. 
Scullin is one of our leading merchants, and the home of the family 
which is now broken up was connected with his business stand on Main 
street, and we know that it was a pleasant one.  Besides the husband 
and her father and mother, she leaves to mourn their loss her sisters, 
Mrs. Delia Ginter, of Youngstown, Ohio; Mrs. W. Fiske Conrad, of this 
place; Mrs. Irwin M. Horrell, of Altoona, and Miss Edna Bigelow, of 
this place.  Mrs. W. Bunn Stewart, who died some two years ago at this 
place, was a sister.  The funeral services will be held at her late 
home on Main street Wednesday morning at 10.30 o'clock, to be conducted 
by Rev. George Leidy and Rev. B. B. Hamlin, of the Methodist Episcopal 
church, after which interment in the Tyrone cemetery. [sic]  In her 
long severe illness she remained rational and conscious to the last, 
recognizing the many friends who surrounded her beside up until the 
last moment.  An affectionate wife and daughter and a loving sister, 
she will be greatly mourned by a large circle of relatives and friends.
    Our beautiful and blessed one,
      She too has passed away,
    We tried to breathe "Thy will be done,"
      But it was hard to say.
