MRS. GRACE THOMPSON.

  Mrs. Grace Thompson, widow of Edward Thompson, died last evening at 5 
o'clock, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Edward White, on West Walnut 
street, of a complication of diseases.  She had been taken to the Nason 
hospital at Roaring Spring several days ago for treatment and was brought 
from that institution yesterday to her daughter's home.  Her residence was at

Alex, of Hollidaysburg; Mrs. Edward White, of Hollidaysburg; Nellie, of Ohio,
