BLOOD POISON FATAL TO GALLITZIN WOMAN

GALLITZIN, May 17 - Mrs. Margaret (Gailey) Clossin, aged 55, wife of 
Phillip Clossin of 811 Sandusky street, died at 1:50 o'clock yesterday 
morning in the Mercy hospital, Altoona, where she was admitted in a serious 
condition on Friday. Mrs. Clossin was engaged in hanging up clothes one week 
ago when she inflicted a slight wound on the thumb of her right hand. Little 
attention was paid to the injury at the time and the following day she became 
ill. On Friday her condition became critical and she was taken to the 
hospital. Blood poisoning developed.

Mrs. Clossin was born at the Foot of Six Blair county, on Jan. 9, 1882, a 
daughter of John and Margaret (Cornelius) Gailey. Her marriage to Mr. Clossin 
was solemnized thirty-seven years ago.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by one daughter, Dora, wife of 
Robert Webb of Gallitzin, and two sons, Sheridan P. and Robert Clossin, at 
home. Three grandchildren survive along with two brothers, William Gailey of 
Cresson and James Gailey of Gallitzin, and one sister, Mrs. Thomas Murray of 
the Foot of Six.

Mrs. Clossin was a devout member of the First Methodist church and its 
various auxiliaries. The remains were removed late yesterday afternoon to the 
home where they may be viewed.
