TYRONE TOPICS.

Mrs. Elizabeth Woomer, wife of Jonathan Woomer, died at her home two
miles northwest of Bald Eagle, at 6.27 o'clock yesterday morning from
stomach trouble, from which she had suffered for about a week.  She
was in the 65th year of her age and had been in failing health for
some time.  Mrs. Woomer, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Turnbaugh,
was born in Logan township.  She was a lifelong member of the Lutheran
church, and her Christian faith was abundantly proved by a consistent
Christian life.  She was a kind mother, devoted to the welfare of her
home and the happiness of her family.  All who knew her treasured her
friendship, and she will be greatly missed from the community where
she so long resided.  Surviving are her husband and the following
children; W. H. Woomer and Mrs. Harry C. Albright, of Tyrone; James,
of Bellefonte; Howard, of Patton; Edward, of Bradford; Mrs. David
Bryan, of Jersey Shore; and Myrtle, at home.  Six sisters and three
brothers also survive, among them being Mrs. A. A. Smith and Nicholas
Turnbaugh, of Tyrone.  The funeral will be held on Wednesday morning
at her late home, where services will be conducted by Rev. F. L.
Bergstresser.  Interment in the Woomer cemetery.
