Death of Mrs. Margaret Empfield

Mrs. Margaret Empfield, one of the oldest residents of Cambria County, died Wednesday evening at the home 
of her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas S. Empfield of Belsano, aged 90 years.  Mrs. Empfield's 
illness was thought not serious as she had been enjoying good health and helped to celebrate her 90th 
birthday Monday.  The following day she was much interested in the golden wedding celebration of her son, 
Thomas.  The strain apparently weakened her, for she declined perceptibly Tuesday night and Wednesday.

Mrs. Empfield's husband, G. W. Empfield, died eleven years ago and she is survived by the following children:  
Thomas S. of Belsano; Abram of Kansas; Sue, wife of Amos Black of Kansas; Wheatly of Ebensburg; Mattie, 
wife of Judson Reese of Pindleton; Margaret, wife of Isaac Mahan, near Belsano; Jane, wife of William James 
of Ebensburg.  Mrs. Abbie Bowen of Washington Street, Johnstown; John Empfield of Turner Street and Harry 
Empfield of Windber are grandchildren.

Mrs. Empfield was a member of Belsano Methodist Episcopal Church and her pastor, the Rev. Chilcote, will 
conduct the funeral services Sunday.  Interment will be at Belsano.
