Demise of a Well Known Pioneer Resident of Northern Cambria

Another of the old pioneer residents of Northern Cambria 
county passed away Tuesday at 9:50 a.m. when Mrs. Elizabeth 
Noel Thomas, the wife of Jacob Thomas of Thomas Mills, died 
after an illness extending over a period of seven years.  
The exact cause of her demise is not known but was the 
result of an injury received several years ago when she 
fell and broke her hip. From that time until her death she 
was an invalid and never left the house.

Mrs. Thomas was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Noel 
and was born in Clearfield township on October 12, 1835, 
and would therefore have been 72 years of age had she lived 
until October next.  She was married to Mr. Thomas in June, 
1855, at St. Augustine and after her marriage made her home 
in Chest township, near St. Lawrence, until the family 
moved to the farm now owned by George Cassidy and where she 
was born, her father selling the place to Mr. Thomas, who 
in turn disposed of it to Mr. Cassidy.  In 1873 the family 
moved to Thomas Mills where they have since resided.

Besides her husband, Mrs. Thomas is survived by the 
following sons and daughters:  Mary A., the wife of John R. 
Cordell of Patton; Cecelia, wife of John Roy of Chest 
township; Albert, Theodore and Martin of Patton and Howard, 
at home.

The funeral was held in the church at St. Boniface Thursday 
morning at 10 o'clock at which time a high mass of requiem 
was said by Rev. Father Raphael. The interment was in the 
church cemetery.
