Ashville Lady Dead

Theresa Basal, aged eighty-five years, died suddenly at 11 
o'clock Wednesday morning at the home of her son-in-law and 
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Myers in Ashville.  Mrs. 
Basal, although a sufferer from asthma for some time, had 
been in fairly good health and was visiting at the home of 
her daughter Wednesday.  She went into the house after 
walking around outside for a little while and had been 
sitting down in a chair for only a few minutes when she 
gave a gasp and fell to the floor, dying very soon 
afterward.

Mrs. Basal was the widow of the late Andrew Basal who died 
last June.  She is survived by the following children:  
Andrew of Tunnelhill Borough; John of Pittsburg; Joseph of 
Rhode Island; Frank, at home; and Catherine Lentz, widow of 
Arnold Lentz of Gallitzin.

Funeral services will be held at 10 o'clock Saturday 
morning at St. Thomas' Catholic church, where the deceased 
attended services Tuesday evening.  Burial was made in the 
church cemetery.
