Mrs. Emma McLaughlin.


Mrs. Emma McLaughlin, widow of David Gordon McLaughlin, died at 3 o'clock 
yesterday morning at Dr. Marvel's private sanatorium in Atlantic City, where she had 
been for a week or so undergoing treatment. Mrs. McLaughlin's health had been 
impaired for some time, but she was able to be about up to the time she entered the 
sanatorium. The cause of her death was acute dilatation of the heart, superinduced by 
chronic Bright's disease.

The deceased, who was about sixty-five years of age, was married twice. Her first 
husband, Mr. Rich, died many years ago, and some time later she was wedded to David 
G. McLaughlin, who died suddenly at the Franklin Plant of the Cambria Steel company 
on October 3, 1906. Miss Ada Rich, only daughter of Mrs. McLaughlin, died in 
Johnstown in January, 1892. Mrs. Margaret Dubbs, of Allentown, is the only surviving 
sister of the deceased. W. J. McLaughlin, of South Dakota, who visited here recently, is a 
brother-in-law.

The remains were brought to Johnstown this morning and were conveyed to the 
McLaughlin residence, No. 427 Vine street, First Ward, by Undertaker Henderson. The 
funeral will probably take place to-morrow afternoon, when the deceased's pastor, the 
Rev. Dr. C. C. Hays, of the First Presbyterian Church, will conduct the obsequies. The 
remains will be laid to rest in Grand-View Cemetery.
