Death of Mrs. W. Finley Thompson

  Our Hollidaysburg correspondent writes:
  On Wednesday evening, January 4, Mrs. Mary Ann Thompson, wife of Mr. 
W. F. Thompson, died at her home in Philadelphia, aged 47 years. The 
deceased up to the close of the year was in the enjoyment of her usual 
good health, when she was prostrated with a severe attach of the 
rheumatic fever, which in a few days resulted in her death.  Besides 
her sorrowing husband she leaves six children -three boys and three 
girls - to mourn the loss of a kind and loving mother. She also leaves 
an aged mother, Mrs. Mary Brady, aged 82 years, and three sisters, Mrs. 
Hugh Smith, of Gaysport; Mrs. William Burtnett, of Hollidaysburg, and 
Mrs. Jane Foust, widow of Mr. Ross Foust, late of Huntingdon. The 
deceased was born and raised in Hollidaysburg, being a daughter of 
Terrence Brady.  Her death will not only be mourned by her near 
relatives, but by all her neighbors and many friends. The funeral will 
take place at 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon.  Interment in the 
Lutheran cemetery.  The friends of the family invited.

Times, Altoona, Pa., January 6, 1888
