Mrs. Ellen Potter

  Mrs. Ellen Potter, widow of the late Dr. Thomas Potter, died on 
Friday morning, August 15, after a lingering illness of almost four 
years, at her late home at Philipsburg.  Her niece, Miss Anna McMullen 
was at her bedside constantly during her illness.  
  The deceased was born near Orbisonia, Huntingdon county, and was the 
daughter of Enos and Casander McMullen, who have long since preceded 
her to the grave.  She was married on April 18, 1878, to the late Dr. 
Thomas Potter, who died on January 12, 1906, in Philipsburg, by Rev. 
Thomas Switzer, who passed, away soon after performing the ceremony.  
  Mrs. Potter is survived by only one brother and sister, J. W. 
McMullen, of Tyrone, and Mrs. F. H. Maddon, of Orbisonia, the latter 
being, at her bedside when death ensued.  The funeral, which was 
private, took place on Monday morning.
