GALLATIN. - At her home on South Pittsburgh street, Mrs. Nancy N. Gallatin, 
Saturday morning at ? o'clock, February 5th, 1898.  Deceased had been ailing 
many months before her death, which came at the end quietly and without pain.  
The funeral services were conducted at the house by Rev. W. R. Warren, pastor 
of the Christian Church, at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon and the body was laid 
to rest to Hill Grove Cemetery at 4 o'clock.  Interment was private, only the 
immediate friends of the family attending.  Mrs. Gallatin was born January 25, 
1832, near Bethel Church in Lower Tyrone township, this county.  She was the 
eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Newcomer.  Her first husband was 
Christopher Slonacker, who died five years after the marriage.  Ten years 
later, October 18, 1870, she married Abram Gallatin, who had for some years 
previous to the wedding been looking after interests in California.  After the 
marriage the bride and groom removed to that State, where they resided at San 
Francisco, Alameda and other towns till the death of Mr. Gallatin in 1884.  
After this sad event Mrs. Gallatin returned to Connellsville and took up her 
home with her mother on South Pittsburgh street, where she remained till 
death.  Deceased had no children.  She is survived by the following brothers 
and sisters:  Mrs. Lydia McEntyer of Ohio, Clark Newcomer of Nebraska, Stewart 
of California, Albert of this county, Dr. G. W. Newcomer, the well known 
doctor of this place, Benjamin F. of Washington, Mrs. S. S. Stahl of this 
place, the wife of Dr. Stahl, and J. C. Newcomer, the New Haven jeweler and 
former burgess of that town.  Mrs. Gallatin was a lady of refinement and sweet 
disposition.  From her early days she was prominently connected with the work 
of the Christian Church, especially the mission work, and she has left a 
bequest to the home mission society.
