WILLIAM 8. MOYER. Suddenly and unexpectedly as a crash of thunder from a clear noon day sky came the announcement on Wednesday morning that Mrs. William S. Moyer was no longer among the living. She went up to the store of Moyer Bros on Tuesday evening, as was her daily custom, and while there she seemed in excellent health and spirits, and there was nothing mani fested that gave the slightest indica tion that the impending calamity was so near. In company with her hus band she went home at about ten o'clock, and on the way she com plained of shortness of breath, and they stopped a few moments at Third Street. She soon seemed to be better and they proceeded on their way. After a little time passed in conversa tion they retired. About two hours later Mrs. Moyer awakened her hus band and told him she was sick, and asked for medicine, which was administered, but without any relief. Doctors Reber and Brown were sum moned, but she rapidly failed and soon became unconscious, and shortly after one o'clock she ceased to breathe, a paralytic stroke being assigned by the physicians as the cause of her sudden dissolution. It was only the 19th of January, seven teen days before, that Mrs. John L. Moyer was suddenly stricken, and died in a few moments. It is net ofien we are called upon to chronicle two such afflictions in the same family within so short a period. Martha M. Moyer was the daughter of the late Richard Menagh, and was born in Bloomsburg on October 20, 1846. She was married to William S. Moyer on March 23, 1875. and spent all her life in her native town. She was a devoted wife and mother, beloved by all who knew her inti mately, and respected by . everybody. Surrounded with all the comforts anc pleasures that make life desirable, a happy home, a devoted family, loving friends, and apparent good health, she has been thus summoned without premonition, into the valley of the shadow of death, and it is such occur rences that sometimes cuse even those whose faith in the justice of an Almighty Father is firmly fixed, to wonder why such things must be. Mrs. Moyer is survived by her hus band and one daughter, Martha, and her niece, Irene, who was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Moyer, on the death of her mother.Mrs. Elmer E. Moyer. Ot her own family there remain her sister, Mrs. C. E. Savage, of this town; her brother, Charles Menagh, also of this town; Henry C. Menagh, of Washington, D. C, and Joseph Menagh, of Mt. Carmel. The sorrow that this crushing blow has brought to the afflicted family is shared with them by many friends, and the sympathy of the whole com munity goes out to them, for they seem to be laden with a burden al most too heavy for human endurance. The funeral will be -held at the house tomorroW (Friday) afternoon at one o'clock, and will be conducted by Rev. Dr. Hemingway.
