AT REST.
Aunt Mollie Hege.
Death of Well Known
Woman.

1t is with feelings of deepest sorrow
that we received the death of Mrs.
Mary Pittman Hege, which occurred
at her home ne ar Dckey's Station,
Franklin county, Pa, ON Friday even
gin, October l3. The deceased was the
daughter of Joseph Pittman of Timber
Ridge, Fulton county, and the wife of
the late John Hego of Ayr township.
Her age was seventy-four years and
eight months and she is survived by
one sister, Mrs. George Morton, of
Belfast township.
Mrs. Hege was the mother of nine
children, six of whom survive her.
Rev. Jacob Basore, of Iowa; Mrs.
John Myers, of Little Cove, and Miss
Lottie Basore, at home -childron of Il
former husband, Mr.. Daniel Basore,
and Mrs. Tobias Glazcr, of Webster
Mills, and Joseph and Harmon Hege
of Franklin county of a later
marriage with Mr.. John Hcge.
Mrs, Hege was in her usual health
until the Sunday preceding her death,
which occurred from hernia from
which she had suif cred for many years.
She was buried in the Union Come
terry on Sabbath afternoon. Elder G.
l.. Funk officiating.
Until within few years, the home
of Mrs. Hege, or "Aunt Mollie" as
she was atlectionatelN called, was in
the Corner" although few women
were more extensively and favorably
known throughout the county.
She was lifelong member of the
Baptist church and by close study, at
tanned a wonderful knowledge of the
Bible.
TO her husband she was faithful
wife and wise counselor her chill
dren loving and self-sacrifcing
mother-practicing the severest sell
denial for their educational advance
ment. AS neighbor, she gave OF
herself most ungrudgingly, never un-
needing the call day or night, to com
fort the sick, or relieve the suffering
oftimes taking the place of a physician
until he could arrive.
Her feet ran on willing eTands, and
her hands did cheerful service in hum.
blest places, through love to Christ
and his helpless poor-cheerful and
witty in conversation-a good talker
and possessing Il remarkable memory.
She had n good fund of information,
and could recall with precision the To-
cal happenings of almost thrce-quar-
ters of Il century.
We extend to her children our ten
derest sympathy in this great loss OF
their mother, who was, in truth, one
of nature noble women, for scarcely
do we find in one person so many ad-
mirable traits of character so harmo-
niously combined.

After the congratulations were
offered the guests were ushered
out to the dining room and seat
ed at bountifully spread table,
where a sumptuous dinner was
served-the kind that our hostess,
Mrs. j. G.. Kendall, knows how to
prepare for a hundred and TWEEN

ACCIDENT TO J.S. EITEMILLER.

We regret to learn that Jacob S.

an accident shortly after his return

him to bed for three weeks. He was

be about again, and while it caused

the fact that it was not as serious as
it might have been.
