Mrs. Jane Schell Vail
Mrs. Jane Schell Vail, of DuBois, after an illness of a year and a half, passed 
away at 6 a.m. Thursday.  The deceased, who was the daughter of Max and Jane 
Reed Schell, was born October 20, 1853, at Bald Eagle Furnace.  During the last 
seven years she had been a resident of DuBois.  Mrs. Vail was member of the 
Roman Catholic church and died in that faith.  In 1874, in Tyrone she was 
untied in marriage to Martin Vail by Rev. Father Farrand.  Mr. Vail preceded 
his wife to the spirit world twenty-four years ago.  The following named 
children survive to mourn heir mother: John D. Vail, Jersey Shore; Mrs. Agnes 
Flanagan, of Willantown; William T. Vail, of Snow Shoe; Joseph M., Robert C. 
and Ella, of DuBois; Edward F., in the west.  Mrs. Vail is also survived by one 
brother and two sisters: Mrs. William McNelis, Mrs. James McNelis, and Joseph 
Schell all of Tyrone.  Another brother William Schell, of Reaove, died some 
years ago.
After her marriage she and her husband resided in Tyrone for a few years.  Her 
husband being a railroad supervisor for the New York Central road, they removed 
to various localities from time to time, and he died twenty-four years ago 
while they were living in Philipsburg, Centre county.  Later Mrs. Vail and 
family removed to Snow Shoe, where she lived for a good many years, and for the 
past seven years she had lived at DuBois. 
Mrs. Vail had been in failing health for several years, but her condition had 
been growing more and more serious during the last year and a halt.
The body was brought this forenoon to the home of Mrs. William McNelis, of 1359 
Logan avenue.  Funeral services were held at 9 o’clock, Saturday morning at St. 
Matthew’s Catholic church.   Interment in Oak Grove cemetery.
