Sue......I searched online for an 1890 PA mortality schedule and did not find any, but I appreciate the suggestion. Justin......I do not know what newspaper the article was in nor the twp, borough, or even if it happened in Centre Co. The clipping was just part of a family file with nothing but the date on it.

Elizabeth, You should contact the Centre County Library in Bellefonte, paroom@centrecountylibrary.org, and have them do a search of the obituary index. Please let us know the results. Also, what is the full, exact text of the article that you have?
