MRS. AMELIA STINE

  Mrs. Amelia Stine, the esteemed wife of Sheriff Reuben Stiles, passed from 
the partial sleep in which she had lain over a week into the deep sleep of 
death on Christmas evening, at 5:50 o'clock, just as the light of day had 
faded into darkness and the glimmering stars began to appear.  On Tuesday 
evening a week ago Mrs. Stine had an attack of paralysis of the brain, from 
the effects of which she became unconscious and she remained in this 
condition most of the time until the angel of death came and forever closed 
her eyes to all earthly scenes.
  Deceased was a daughter of ex-Register William Behney, of Union township, 
and was married to Reuben Stine, April 14, 1878,  She was an estimable wife 
and mother, a kind neighbor and friend and a faithful member of the Lutheran 
church, at Jonestown.  She had been ailing for about six months but her 
death has cast a deep gloom upon that home as the father and son, as well as 
the employees of the prison, were greatly attached to her.  Her husband and 
a son, Harry, aged 17 years, survive her.  Also a sister, Mrs. Wm. Desh, 
residing on Lehman street, this city, and a brother, Adam Behney, of East 
Hanover.  She was aged nearly 39 years.
  The funeral services will be held on Saturday morning, at 11 o'clock, at 
the sheriff's residence, in the jail building, South Eighth street, and at 1 
o'clock the funeral will be conveyed over the Lebanon and Tremont railroad 
to Jonestown, where services will be continued in the Lutheran church.  
Interment will be made at the Lutheran cemetery of that place.
