MRS. ALLEN S. GARMAN
Died Very Suddenly in St. Joseph's Hospital in Philadelphia.

  On Thursday afternoon the sad intelligence reached Tyrone that Mrs. 
Allen S. Garman had died very suddenly in St. Joseph's hospital, in 
Philadelphia, where she had been operated on on Tuesday for tumors.  
Mrs. Garman was about 48 years of age.  The surgeons at the hospital 
removed fifty-two of these growths from Mrs. Garman's body which left 
her in a very weakened condition, but up until Thursday afternoon she 
was getting along very nicely and really better than the doctors had 
expected under the circumstances.  Late on Thursday afternoon the 
patient collapsed and her heart being weak, she soon passed into 
eternity.
  Mrs. Garman was a splendid woman and has hosts of friends in Tyrone 
and Bellefonte who mourn her death.  She was a lady with an amiable 
disposition and was kind and affectionate.  She was also a sincere 
Christian lady.
  She leaves to mourn her death a loving husband, her aged father, 
Morris Cowdrick, of Niagara Falls, and the following brothers and 
sister: Packard, Edward and William Cowdrick and Mrs. Hamilton Otto, of 
Niagara Falls.
  Mr. and Mrs. Garman and son Ira moved to Tyrone about eleven years 
ago, coming here from Bellefonte.  Shortly after moving to our city 
their son died and from that time on Mrs. Garman began to fail in 
health and the past two years was an invalid, but all through her 
sorrow and suffering she was patient and bore her pain with full 
confidence that some day she would be with Him who wipes away all 
trials.
  The body will be taken through Tyrone this evening to the home of 
Mrs. Rebie Cruse, in Bellefonte, where funeral services will be held on 
Monday morning.
