DUNCANSVILLE DOTS.

  On last Thursday morning Mr. Lloyd Stiffler went to Irvintown to do 
some repairing about the house of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Shaw.  On 
rapping at the door several times and receiving no answer and hearing 
no noise in the house, --?-- pressed with the idea that perhaps 
something might have happened to the aged lady; so he procured a ladder 
--?-- to the window, entered the house and made his way to her bed --?-
- where he found her.  He called --?-- but received no reply.  He took 
her --?-- and shook her around.  He --?-- she felt warm yet and so he 
tried to --?-- her, but on further investigation found she was dead.  
He called in a physician who pronounced her dead and to the best of his 
knowledge she must have died suddenly, a short time before Mr. Stiffler 
came to the house.  She was taken care of immediately by her friends 
and neighbors, and in the --?-- removed to Stiffler's home on Broad 
street.  The funeral took place Saturday morning.
