CLAYSBURG.

  The many friends of Mrs. Lionel Y. Greene were grieved to learn of 
her death Wednesday evening in far away Arizona, whence Mr. Greene had 
taken his wife and child in the hope that the health of his loved one 
might be restored.  The immediate cause of her death was that dread 
malady, influenza.  We sincerely sympathize with Mr. Greene and hope he 
may have the guidance of the divine in bringing his motherless child 
back to home and friends.

MRS. LIONEL GREEN.

  Mrs. Green, wife of Lionel Green, died in Idaho from an attack of 
influenza.  Mr. and Mrs. Green and only little daughter, the father 
having resigned a clerkship at Claysburg with the brick company, left 
about one year ago for the benefit of Mrs. Green's health, first going 
to Dakota, thence to Idaho.  Mrs. Green was getting along finely in 
recovery from pulmonary trouble, when came the attack of influenza to 
which she succumbed.  Her husband is a son of Mrs. W. F. Green, 
formerly of Oneida township, now of Claysburg.  She was a former school 
teacher in the county and a graduate nurse, about three years ago, of 
the Blair Memorial hospital.  Her family name was Luden.  She was born 
and reared in the neighborhood of Orbisonia and was about 30 years old.  
The remains are expected here today.  Funeral services will be held in 
the First Methodist Episcopal church on Wednesday forenoon at 10 
o'clock by Rev. A. H. Haines, D.D., and interment will be made in 
Riverview cemetery.
