Died From Consumption at Her Home on West Washington Avenue.

  Mrs. Catharine Hyskell Waite, wife of George C. Waite, died at the 
family home on West Washington avenue, Tyrone, at 6 o'clock this 
morning from consumption, from which she had been a sufferer the past 
four years. Born October 10, 1859, she would have been forty years old 
had she lived three days longer.
 Deceased was the daughter of Thomas and Mary Hyskell, and was born at 
the Hyskell home near Warriorsmark, where her fater died about a year 
ago. On the 28th of February, 1889, she was married to George C. Waite. 
In the spring of 1890, they came to Tyrone and have made their home 
here since that time. Besides her husband two children survive, viz: 
Myra E., aged 7 years, and Eugene H., aged 4 years. Her mother, Mrs. 
Mary Hyskell, also survives and resides at Warriorsmark, and these 
brothers and sisters are living: Alan W. Hyskell, of Pittsburg; Dr. E. 
D. Hyskell, of Madera; Mrs. George G. Hutchinson and Mrs. Mary 
Cunningham, of Warriorsmark.
  Deceased was a member of the First Methodist Episcopal church of 
Tyrone and when in good health was active in auxiliary work as a member 
of the Mystic circle, a ladies' organization connected with the church. 
She was a true Christian woman, an affectionate wife and mother, and 
possessed the qualities which go to make a true woman as a neighbor and 
friend.
  The funeral will be held Monday morning. Services at the Washington 
avenue home at 9.30 o'clock, by Rev. W. M. Frysinger, D.D. Interment to
