teachers, died on Wednesday afternoon at
o'clock, at the residence of Mr.. Thos s.
Beck, in this borough, where she had been
lying i'll with typhoid fevef iof tho last
shree weeks. Her parents live Mt Potlstowii,
Montgomery county, and the family con-
sisted Of a son and three daughters. About a
month ago her brother touk sick with ty-
phoid fever and o telegram was sent calling
Miss Fannie botne. Soon after her return
SHE took the fever herself and had been con.
fined tn bed ever since. At the same time
that she took sick, her eldest sister who was
at home with her parents, alsc took the
fever and after short illhrss bf four DAYS
died. Miss FahHie Vas tot weak 10 receive
the sad news snd thus never learned thst
her sister died. Immediately nlter her ss
ter's death, her mother took thesfeycr, and +,
according to the latest reports, she has had
a relapse, aud there is little hopo for her re-
coverS. 1t is feated that, under the circun-
stances, her second daughters death will be
a bereavement too heavy for her to bear
The son is on the fair way of recovery, and
is considered out of danger. The father and
the only daughter that lie left, were alone
to attend TO those who were sick at homie
and both of them are said to be uuwell
themselves though not confined to bed.
Under these eireumsta noes. it was impos-
sible for any member of the family to come
to see Fannie during her ilnessr 1t is
thought, by her physician, that worry about
Fannie's illness, where lone of them could
visit her, broke down the mothers health
as much as the fever ITSELF
Miss Fannie was graduate of the Key.
stone State Normal school, of the class Of
1881. She was young lady of fine culture
and scholarship, and always enjoyed the
highest esteem Of her classmates and pro-
fessors.
Last July she was elected to one of the
Lehighton rchoolsj and during her short
stay ofa few months, won for herself not
only the affection Of her pupils but the es-
TEEN and regard of all school officers, fellow
teachers and parents.l
During her illness the people of Lehigh-
ton had the deepest sympathy for her.
Nothing was left undone that could in any
way contribute to her recovery or alleviate,

Pottstown on Thursday accompanied by
Rev. j. II. Hartman of town, her pastor.
A short service was held at the residence
of Mr.. Beck before the remains were taken
to the depot.
The teachers and pupils Of the public
schools, the members of the school board the
County Superintendent, and a number of
prominent citizens of town accompanied
the remains to the train. Few cases of
sickness have ELECTED such universal and
heartfelt sympathy among our citizens, and
whilst it is cad that none of her friends from
home could visit her, she was made to feel
that she was not among strangers really but
among people who had all the sympathy
and affection for her of life. long friends.
Her death is a bereavement, not only to her
family, but also to her pupils and the many
friends she had made during her short stay
with US.
P. S.-Siace the above was put in type,
we learn that the only sister left has been
taken with typhold fever, at her home in
Pottstown, while the mother ttll femains
in very precRrious condition.
