AGED RESIDENT OF COUNTY DIES.  

  One of the oldest residents of Blair county, Mrs. Ellen Zimmerman, 
died yesterday morning at 5 o'clock at the Blair County home of 
diseases incident to advanced age.  According to records at the county 
home, the woman was born at Allegheny Furnace on May 22, 1833, but a 
granddaughter residing in Tyrone believes Mrs. Zimmerman was born on 
May 22, 1836, although she is not certain.  If the county home records 
are correct, the woman would have been 100 years old.  Mrs. Zimmerman, 
before her marriage to John Zimmerman, was Miss Ellen Eastright.  Her 
husband was a veteran of the Civil War and has been dead for many 
years. Her nearest relatives are a grandson and a granddaughter, George 
Sprow and Mrs. Annie Cleary, both of Tyrone; six great-grandchildren 
and five great-great-grandchildren.  Mrs. Zimmerman was a member of the 
First Methodist church of Tyrone.  The body has been removed to the 
home of Mrs. Cleary, 1515 Blair avenue, Tyrone, where it may be viewed.  
Funeral services will be conducted at the Cleary home on Wednesday 
afternoon at 2 o'clock in charge of Rev. Elmer F. Ilgenfritz, pastor of 
the First Methodist church of Tyrone.  Interment will be made in the 
Cedar Grove cemetery at Petersburg.
