She was only about 20 years of age and had been married but about a year. She was an estimable woman, and her rash act is deplored by a wide circle of friends and relatives. She was a daughter of Thomas Cochran of Wayne township. Lewistown Democrat. The Register, Hollidaysburg, Pa., Wednesday, December 24, 1873
