MRS. POUNDSTONE DIES IN CHURCH ON SUNDAY

   Mrs. Margaret Jane Poundstone, aged 73 years, of Balsinger, died suddenly at
7:48 o'clock last night as she sat in the family pew in the Second Prebysterian
church.  She was stricken with an attack of apoplexy and before she could be
removed from the church she was pronounced dead by a physician.
   She was the widow of Zachariah Taylor Poundstone, who died 15 years ago.  She
was a daughter of the late John and Nancy Rankin and is survived by one sister,
Mrs. Nancy H. Amos of Uniontown; two brothers, W. A. and James F. Rankin, both
of this city, and three half-brothers, J. A., C. S. and R. W. Rankin.  She was
a member of the Second church.
   Funeral arrangements will be announced later.
