TYRONE
SUDDEN DEATH

  The community was most profoundly shocked to learn of the very sudden 
death of Miss Clara Stewart of Logan avenue last evening.  Miss 
Stewart's indisposition covered only a few days.  As late as Saturday 
she was down town mingling with friends.  On Friday night she filled a 
part in the cantata, "Crucifixion," which was so ably rendered in the 
First Methodist Episcopal church.  In fact, so sudden was her demise 
that even the neighbors and most intimate friends were not cognizant of 
any serious illness.  She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Stewart 
and was raised in this place.  She was a member of the First Methodist 
Episcopal church and was actively engaged in church work, especially in 
its various societies.  Since the establishment of a Red Cross unit 
here, she had been most faithful. Miss Stewart was one of Tyrone's most 
attractive young ladies and she will be greatly missed in both church 
and social circles.  She leaves her parents, and two sisters, Mrs. B. 
Foster Burley of Wilkinsburg, Pa., and Miss Virginia at home.  Funeral 
services will be announced later.
