  Mrs. Mary Hillegass, a sister of Mr. Edward Glessner, passed away at her home 
Thursday afternoon, less than ten hours after the death of her brother.  Mrs. 
Hillegass was aged 70 years.  Her death is attributed to a complication of 
diseases from which she had been a sufferer for many months.  She recently 
received treatment in the Memorial Hospital, Johnstown, but was removed to her 
home, later.
  Mrs. Hillegass was a daughter of Tobias and Catherine Glessner and for many 
years lived in Stonycreek Township.  Some years ago the Hillegass family moved 
to Berlin.  Mrs. Hillegass was a member of Trinity Reformed Church.  She is 
survived by her husband, Luther J. Hillegass, and the following children:  
Robert, of Berlin; George, of Brothersvalley Township; Howard, Nevin and Mrs. 
Etta Lambert, of Stonycreek Township; Mrs. Nellie Landis, of Shanksville; Harry, 
of Somerset Township; Mrs. Mary Fritz, of Summit Township; John and Alvin, of 
Akron, Ohio; Lester, of Johnstown; and Pearle, at home.  She is also survived by 
the following brothers and sisters:   Jacob W., of Shanksville; Joseph T., of 
Waterloo, Ia.; John L., of Downey; Mrs. John Lowry, of Shanksville; Mrs. Edward 
Boyer, of Roxbury; and Albert, of Stonycreek Township.
