Sudden Death of a Young Lady.

  A telegram was received in this city last evening announcing the 
death at Martinsburg yesterday of Miss Lenore Thatcher.  The deceased 
was about 22 years of age and the daughter of Mr. John A. Thatcher, of 
Pueblo, Colo.  She was spending the winter in the east and recently 
returned from a visit to Philadelphia, going to Martinsburg where she 
made her home with her grandmother, the widow of Mr. Henry Thatcher.  
Her illness was very sudden.  She was in Altoona on Friday evening of 
the past week at the residence of Mr. George Piper, Twelfth street and 
Sixteenth avenue, Mrs. Piper and she being warm friends.  She was then 
apparently in the best of health, and Mrs. Piper was greatly shocked 
last evening on receiving the telegram announcing the death.  Miss 
Thatcher was a young lady who had a large circle of friends, and to 
these the intelligence of her death will come with crushing force.  
Spinal meningitis was the cause of death.  We have not learned of the 
funeral arrangements.
