The deceased was seventy-five years of age, and one of Ebensburg's most highly-respected ladies. She had been married three times, her first husband being a Mr. Rager. Her second husband's name was Mr. Leidy, both having died many years ago. She is survived by her third husband--Mr. Henry Funk--and nine children, four by her first husband and five by her second. She was a true, devoted, and consistent member of the German Baptist Church all her life. The funeral took place on to-day at 9 o'clock A. M., leaving the house at that hour for the cemetery at Mundy's, in Jackson Township, where the remains were interred. Mrs. Nancy Fisher The subject of these lines, whose death occurred last Friday morning, was born in Somerset County on February 18, 1815, her maiden name being Campbell. When a child she was brought to this county and reared in Richland Township, where, in young womanhood, she united in marriage with the late George Fisher. To this union nine children were born, five of whom survive, viz: Noah Fisher, of Conemaugh; Lucy Ann, intermarried with John Custer and residing on Hinckston avenue, Fourteenth Ward, Johnstown; Mary, wife of Joseph Grusch, of Paint Township, Somerset County; George C. Fisher, of the Seventh Ward, Johnstown and John Fisher, of South Fork. The dead children were: William, a Union soldier in the late War who was starved to death in Libby Prison; Daniel, who departed this life in Croyle Township; Jerry, who died two and a-half years ago in the twelfth Ward, and Sarah, who was the wife of Daniel Gordon, of Scalp Level. In 1885 the deceased and her husband moved from Richland to Croyle Township. There they continued to reside until four years ago, when Mr. Fisher died and the bereaved wife went to live with her son at South Fork. Nearly two years ago she came to Johnstown to live with her daughter-Mrs. John Custer-of Hinckston avenue, Fourteenth Ward. Mrs. Fisher suffered greatly with rheumatism, and about a month ago gangrene made its appearance in one of her feet an finally caused her death. She was a member of the Evangelical Church nearly all her adult life, and was known by her neighbors as a kind and loving wife and mother. The funeral occurred on Sunday afternoon, interment being made in Mt. Hebron Cemetery. Ernest Replogle Ernest Replogle, a brother of Mrs. A. W. Lyda, of this city, died at the home of his mother, on Brown street, East End, Blairsville, on Tuesday, March 17, 1896, of typhoid fever.

Beside his mother and sister, mentioned above, he is survived by four brothers-Chalmers A., of Freeport; Harry C., Clyde B., and Augusta P., of Blairsville. The funeral took place at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon from the late residence of the deceased.
