Death of DR.. j. p. A1corn and Wife!
We last week briefly noticed the
death afIoar fornler townsniah,i fDr.
James P. Alcorn. 4 few hours later
his wife also followed her: husband to
the spirit land. We copy the follow
ing account of this sad affliction from
thel Allegheny Epefin5. bfaft, lof the
Goth:
A stricken household is that OF DR..
James r. Alcorn, late prominent
medical practitioner of this city, whose
death yesterday evening was followed
during the night by that of his esti-
mable lady. On Thursday last q child
was born to Mrs. AlcOrn, who never
rallied from the effects of her confine-
ment. On the following day the doc
tor was attacked with pleura pneumo-
MIA, and by Saturday evening was con-
fined to his bed. Worn out with his
watching, and the anxiety attendant
upon his wife's condition, he grew
worse, gradually until. three O'Clock
yesterday aiterliOon,, " hen death end
ed his. sufferings. Mrs. Alcorn also
continued to sink and died at half past
q even O'Clock last night. The circun.-
stances of this case are peculiarly dis
t:essing. A family of four children
is. lett suddenly without father Or
mother,at the very, period of their
greatest need or parental counsel and
cure. The oldest child is a daughter
aged fifteen. The others are two sons
aged ten and six respectively, and tie
infant, bright, intelligent looking
female child, TO all Appearance robust
and vigorous enough to live. The
children will be taken in charge by
the relatives of the deceased, and the
family Kept together as much as posi-
BILE.
DR.. Alcorn was physician of some
twenty-five years practice, and at the
time Of his death was in the fifty
third year Of his age. Mrs. Alcorn
was in her. forty-third yeT. Both
were reared IN the neighborhooI OF
Ebcnezei,i Lmdiana county. DIR. Alcoin
pgacticed medicine at one time in But
Ter county, and again in RaKenns, ,:
Ohio, and had been located in Ails-
gAefiaIer about seven ) ears! The de-
ceased Were'both conscioasbdp to the
time of their edeathg and EACH k,iew
for some hours before that, there was
no Hope for either. They exchanged
messages expressive of their wishes
as to their childreii's future and the
disposition of their property, Dir. AL
Drs. Mah6H, Heron, Eastol and Jack
their power 10 relieve them, but in
vain..o The bodies will, be removed to
Indiana township Tor interment' and
the funeral services will be held in
the Church at Ebenezer to morrow. 8.

of North Canal and Chestnut streets.

dence Presbyterian Church, Of whi. b
