Mother of Mrs. T. H. McKenzie Dies In Miners Hospital

Mrs. Charlotte (Anstead) Yeckley, 79, of Pittsburgh, mother of Mrs. T. H.
McKenzie of Barnesboro, died Tuesday night at 10:30 o'clock in Miners
Hospital, following an extended illness.
A daughter of Anthony and Catherine (Yeckley) Anstead [I think this
maiden name is wrong], she was born July 19, 1864, in St. Boniface. Her husband,
William Yeckley, died 35 years ago.
Surviving are the following children:
Mrs. T. H. McKenzie, mentioned;
Mrs. J. L. Johnson, Jersey Shore, Pa.;
E. J. Beckley, Lorraine, Ohio;
Mrs. C. S. King, Philadelphia, and
Mrs. L. W. Smith, Chicago, Ill.
She also leaves a broth:
Nicholas Anstead, of Patton.
Friends are being received at Long.'s Funeral Home. Obsequies will be
conducted tomorrow (Friday) morning at 9 o'clock in St. Edward's Catholic Church
here, with Rev. Father Michael J. Brett, rector, officiating. Interment will
be in the Gallitzin Cemetery. [Probably St. Patrick's.]

I am fairly sure Mr. McKenzie is from Chest Springs and ran and
automobile dealership in Barnesboro.

I think Mrs. Yeckley's husband was from the Gallitzin family of Yeckleys,
not the family around Carrolltown.

Does anyone know the names of her children and their husbands or wives?
