HALLAM, CHEMNISKEY Mrs. G. G. HALLAM, whose home was long in Washington, died at 11:15 a.m. Thursday, February 24, 1927, aboard the Steamship Doric in the Eastern Mediterranean. The cablegram received at the HALLAM home was sent from Athens, Greece, and it is likely that the steamer was at Piraeus, the port of Athens. The message stated that Mrs. HALLAM had been ill of pneumonia five days, and that everything possible had been done for her. The body will remain on the Doric, which is due at New York March 22. Arrangements for the funeral will not be made until the body reaches Washington. Mrs. HALLAM left Washington January 22 to take the Mediterranean cruise with a tour party, with Egypt and the Holy Land as places where more extended visits would be made. Only this week letters had been received from Mrs. HALLAM, written February 8 in Cairo, telling how wonderful the trip was. Mrs. HALLAM's maiden name was MCCOLLUM, and she had spent her entire life in Washington. She was a member of the First M. E. church of Washington and was always loyal and devoted to it. Mr. HALLAM died five years ago. Three children survive: Mrs. D. R. MOORE of Oberlin, Ohio, Mrs. H. J. PRICE of Washington, and Paul McC. HALLAM of Pittsburgh. Mrs. John W. LEONARD and Mrs. Mattie CROSS of Washington, Mrs. Anna WARREN of Douglas, Neb., and Mrs. I. L. DUVAL of Beverly, Ohio, are sisters. Mrs. Elizabeth DUNCAN of Hume, Mo., is a half-sister, and J. P. MCCOLLUM, also of Hume, is a half-brother. Mrs. M. B. SCHREIBER of Fanny street, McDonald, is a cousin. The funeral of Maf CHEMNISKEY was conducted at St. Columbkille's church on Wednesday of last week. Besides his father there remain in the home a sister and a brother. The mother is an incurable patient in a hospital. An older brother, who was seriously injured several weeks ago by a blast of powder in the Clinton Block mine, is a patient in a Pittsburgh hospital and is recovering the sight of both eyes.

The toolbox where his body was found is in a cut not far from his home on the Turtletown road. The boy complained of not feeling well at Imperial before starting home on Saturday evening. He stopped at the Clinton Block office on the way back. He must have waded the snow about four miles on his last trip. *Montour Valley column
