MITCHELL.—Polly Ann, widow of John Barron Mitchell, died at ber home in Pine Grove Mills, on Taes- day about noon. For many months she had heen failing physically and in May last became so weak that it was thought she bad bad a slight stroke. Her sight and hearing were seriously impaired, but she was far from being au invalid and until the day of her death was up and around and interested in all the work of her home and commanity. Funeral services will be held this morning at 10 o'clock in the Presby- terian church, which bas lost one of ite most efficient members. Rev. Harnish will condnet the service and interment will be made in the churoh yard. It is not easy to write of the death of so loved a woman as Mrs. Mitchell. A davgh- ter of William and Margaret Murray, who were early settlers of Ferguson township, she was born on November 11th, 1826, in Northumberland county where her parents then resided. They were of Calvanistic stock, uncompromisingly honest, intelli- gent and dovoutly religions. From them she inherited many excellent traits and up- on these ber noble and beautiful life was built. She went to school at the Pine G rove Academy and in Alexandria. Her mar riage to John B. Mitchell took place on Feb. 27th, 1851. At the time of his death, in Aug. 1900, her sister, Mrs. Gibson, who made her home with them much of the time, remarked that in their married life of almost fifty years she had never known them to have but one controversy but that —according to modern standarde—was so slight that it conld scarcely be called a dif- ference of opinion. And be it remembered that both Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell were strong, positive characters. Endowed with a pleasing personality and gentle disposi- tion she was the most restful woman the writer has ever known. Like Anna, the prophetess, mentioned in Luke, she served | God night and day. And in serving bim, | made a home to which every one in the community loved to go; was‘bravely toler- ant of the weaknesses of others; was un- failingly generous and courageous and did more for her church, possibly, than any other one person in the Presbytery. She was especially interested in the cause of missions and the Woman’s society of her own church has lost its prime factor. Her nearest kin living are her nephews, Robert and William Gibson, of Pittsburg. MRs. Lots Hasnd Hoy. — Mrs. Louisa Harris Hoy, widow of the late Judge Adam Hoy; died at the residerce of her son-in-law, Col. W. Fred Reynolds, yester- day morning at 6 o'clock.
