MRS. AMANDA E. DORWART
Dies at the Home of Her Son-In-Law,
Frank Donahue

   After a lingering illness extending over a period of nearly a year, Mrs.
Amanda E. Dorwart, widow of the late Jonathan Dorwart, of Lancaster, died in
this city Sunday at the home of her son-in-law, Frank Donahue, of 617 Lehman
street.
   She suffered from a complication of diseases and her death was not a
surprise as she failed rapidly during the past few weeks.
   She was aged 82 years and comes from a family remarkable for longevity.
   Her father, Adam Messencup, of Lancaster, was a veteran of the War of
1812, and died at an extremely old age, and her mother died at the age of 97
years.
   There are four surviving children, none of whom reside in this city except
Mrs. Donahue.  The deceased had resided here for about sixteen years and
since the death of her husband.
