Death of a Venerable Lady.

  We are pained to record the death of Mrs. Sarah Stine, mother of 
William Macklin, Esq., of McVeytown, and aunt of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. 
Dern, of the TRIBUNE, at her residence in Mattawana, Mifflin county, 
yesterday morning, at the ripe age of 87 years, 7 months and 27 days.  
Mrs. Stine was one of the best of women, in all that constituted a good 
neighbor and a trusted friend.  Though she had nearly reached her four 
score years and ten, yet her place in the domestic circle will be sadly 
missed, and she will be mourned by a large circle of relatives who 
looked up to her for motherly counsel.  For many years, perhaps half a 
century, she was a member of the Presbyterian Church, which profession 
she adorned by an upright walk and conversation.  She has passed from 
the busy scenes of this life to her reward in a brighter and better 
world.  Her funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon at McVeytown.

Morning Tribune, Altoona, Pa., Wednesday, July 21, 1880
