WOOMER

  Mrs. Hannah E. Woomer died at her home, 2907 Tenth avenue yesterday 
morning, following an attack of influenza which four days ago caused 
the death of her husband, William D. Woomer.  Both members of the 
family were stricken with the disease about ten days ago.  Mrs. Woomer 
had recovered sufficiently on Tuesday to attend the funeral of her 
husband, but was stricken with pleurisy on the evening of his burial 
and in her weakened condition following the influenza attack, was 
unable to withstand the disease.  She was born in Blair county, below 
Tyrone, fifty-three years ago and has been practically a life-long 
resident of this city, and a resident of the west end for nearly thirty 
years.  She was a member of the First Brethren church.  Surviving are 
five children: Mrs. Sarah Chambers, of Houtzdale, Mrs. George Arthurs, 
George and Henry, all of this city, and Della at home.  Private funeral 
services will be held on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, following by 
interment at Greenwood cemetery.
