Miss Maggie Jane, eldest daughter of John and Jennie Silinger, died
after a short illness at the home of her parents, on Blair avenue, at
5.05 o'clock Monday evening, from inflammation of the bowels, aged 22
years, 4 months and 7 days.  She is survived by both parents and one
sister, Laura, and the grandmothers of both families, Mrs. Silinger
and Mrs. Jane A. Stewart - the latter the mother of Mrs. Jennie
Silinger, now in her 83d year.  Maggie was a good girl, a member of
the German Lutheran church since 1887, and a teacher in the Sunday
school.  She was prominent as a saleslady in many of our commercial

being housed in a storeroom, all of which positions she filled to the
satisfaction of her employers.  She was a kind and affectionate
daughter and sister and the loss to the family circle is a severe one.
