Died Near Potters Mills
‘he death of Mrs. W. W. Spaogler
occurred last Tuesday evening at about
eleven o'clock, at her home near Pot-
ters Mills after a long illness and pa-
tient suffering.
Mrs, Spangler’s illness dates from
last June, when she was taken sick
and steadily grew worse, medical skill
availing little in restoring her to good
health. She was aged about fifty
years, and was a most estimable wo-
man, kind and thoughtful, and will
be greatly missed in her neighborhood.
She leaves a husband and four chil
go, and Harry and Miss Gertrude still
at home. The funeral will take place
on Friday morning at ten o'clock from
her late residence. Iunteriient will be
made in the cemetery at Sprucetown.
