MRS. MARY A. SEELEY DIES IN HER 80TH YEAR
Fourteenth Ward Octogenarian Passes Away After Her Few Days’ Illness
Mrs. Mary Ann Brunell Seeley, widow of John Seeley, died late yesterday afternoon at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Ross marsh, in the rear of 205 Iron street, Fourteenth Ward, in her 80th year. Her health had been impaired for some time, but she was able to be about until late last Friday evening, when she collapsed while standing in the kitchen of the March home.
The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon, with burial in Pleasantview Cemetery on Benshoff Hill. The services will be conducted by the Rev. G. Mahlon Miller, pastor of the First United Brethren Church. Mrs. Seeley was a communicant of the U.B. Church for many years.
The deceased was born in Blair County, where she and John Seeley were married a long time ago. They came to Johnstown almost 30 years ago and settled in Minersville, now the Fourteenth Ward. Mr. Seeley was for some years an employee of the Cambria Iron Company before his death 16 years ago last January. Mrs. Seeley is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Kate Briner and Mrs. Sarah Nolan, both of Martinsburg, Blair County, and by the following children: Mrs. James Vaughn and Mrs. John Stolter, of Altoona; Mrs. David Wetzberger, of Whiting, Ind.; Mrs. Clara Guyal, of Chicago, and Mrs. Ross Marsh, of the Fourteenth Ward, together with 21 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
