Mrs. Mary Whalen, believed to have been the oldest woman in 
Cambria County, died Sunday morning at the home of her 
daughter, Mrs. Dennis Sullivan in Barnesboro. Reliable 
authority places her age at 107 years. Up to a few weeks 
ago she enjoyed excellent health.  Mrs. Whalen was born in 
Triporary, Ireland.  There she was married about seventy 
years ago to William Whalen who died last March at ninety-
three years.  The funeral occurred Tuesday morning, the 
services being held in the Catholic church at Carrolltown.
