HANS, MEAD, CASSIDY, MEREDITH, CAMPBELL
Feb. 27, 1897 McDonald PA Outlook

On the 24th, Louis HANS, aged 17 years.
Deceased came to his death by a slate fall in Nickelplate mine. The
Outlook's French correspondent thus reports the sad occurrence: "A stone
weighing 150 pounds fell on the boy's neck and broke it. He died in three
minutes. He was the oldest of a family of six children. It was very sad to
see the five younger children crying beside their dead brother. Louis was a
"scraper" with David OLIVER."

On the 17th, Mrs. Julia MEAD, aged 78 years.
Mrs. MEAD was a member of the Baptist Church of Wayland, Pa., where she
formerly lived. She lived an earnest Christian life. Her home was with her
son, Mr. C. W. MEAD, of Lincoln Avenue. Deceased had passed through many
afflictions, having buried a husband and three children. She was at all
times self-forgetful in her sympathy for others. Two daughters are
left-Mrs. QUINETTE, of New Orleans, and Mrs. MCNAMARA, of Wayland.

At Burgettstown, on the 23rd, Mrs. R. C. CASSIDY, aged 36 years. Deceased
was a daughter of Mr. G. W. OSBORNE.

On the 24th, at her home in Robb Valley, Mrs. MEREDITH. Deceased was the
mother of Mrs. Wm. NEWTON.

On the 19th, child of John CAMPBELL, Reissing.
