FORTNA

Mrs. Ellen Fortna, widow of George Fortna, died on Thursday, October 24th, aged 
47 years.  She had spent the day with a neighbor, assisting in the performance 
of some household duties, and in the evening returned to her home, near Quincy, 
seemingly in her usual health.  Soon after reaching home, she had an attack of 
heart trouble, and her condition being very alarming, her daughter hastened to 
the home of a neighbor for assistance.  Before she returned her mother was dead.  
Shortly after the death, a physician came but she had passed beyond all 
assistance.  She was a woman of a kind disposition, an excellent neighbor and 
was much respected by those who knew her.  She is survived by her son Arthur, on 
of Quincy township's school teachers and also by one daughter, Miss Emma.  The 
funeral was held on Sunday.  Interment in the grave yard attached to Hade's 
church.  The sermon was preached by Rev. H. J. Kitzmiller.
