MRS. JENNIE WOOBURN [sic].

  The many friends of Mr. John Woodburn in this city learn with regret 
of the death of his wife, Jennie, at Carrick, near Pittsburg, Saturday 
morning.  Mr. Woodburn and family were residents of Altoona for many 
years, removing to Pittsburg about seven years ago.  Mrs. Woodburn had 
been ailing and had been visiting her father, Mr. Wilts, at St. 
Augustine, Cambria county, until about three weeks ago, when she 
returned to her home.  Her death, though not unexpected, was a shock to 
all.  Deceased was aged about 45 years and is survived by her husband 
and seven children, also by several brothers and sisters.  She was a 
member of the Catholic church and as a friend and neighbor was highly 
esteemed.  Her stricken family has the sympathy of all.  The remains 
were brought to this city last evening and conveyed to the home of her 
sister, Mrs. Silas McGough, 11 Washington avenue, from which place the 
funeral will take place this morning at 8.30 o'clock.  Services will be 
conducted in St. John's church; interment in St. John's cemetery.  
Because of the long absence from Altoona of Mr. Woodburn, the friends 
of the family are invited to attend the funeral.
