Woman Killed at the Almshouse While Washing Second Story Windows Thresia Arbter Falls to the Earth On Tuesday afternoon about 3 o’clock Thresia Arbter, an Austrian by birth, who was admitted to the almshouse two years and five days ago from Johnstown, and who was one of the most trusted and industrious of the inmates of that institution, while washing the outside of a window in the second story while seated on the window sill, in some manner became overbalanced and fell backward to the ground twenty-six feet below and had both arms and several ribs broken besides receiving several other injuries. Steward Gray at once telephoned to Dr. Jones and to Father O’Neill and both were soon at the bedside of the injured woman and the latter prepared her for death; but Dr. Jones found her injuries to be beyond the power of medical skill to remedy and death intervened shortly afterwards. The deceased was forty eight year of age and has a brother and sister living in Johnstown, the latter of whom came up to the almshouse the same night and took charge of the remains and had Undertaker H. L. Loebrich of Johnstown convey them overland to her home in Johnstown from whence interment took place in the Catholic Cemetery at Geistown.
