MISS HELENA STINER.

Died of a complication of diseases at the home of James M. Gilland, 1709 
Eighth avenue.  The deceased came to Mr. Gilland's home some time last fall.  
She was very ill and was supposed to be in destitute circumstances.  As she 
was a member of the Second Presbyterian church its members ministered to her.  
After she was dead it was found that she had about $1,400 deposted in the 
Williamsburg and Hollidaysburg banks, the certificates being found among her 
papers in her room.  Some years ago she made a will while living in 
William[s]burg, but this document has not been found.  She was aged about 70 
years, and is survived by two sisters and one brother.  The deceased was an 
invalid for several years, suffering from cancer in the left breast, which 
was the main cause of her death.  She was patient throughout her long illness 
and rested on the promises of her Lord.  The funeral will take place at 2:30 
today, services being held at the deceased's late residence, 1709 Eighth 
avenue, by Rev. H. H. Stiles, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church; 
interment in Fairview cemetery.
