Mrs. Jas. [Clarissa] Hanan, Stricken with heart failure
Prominent resident of Yauger Hollow seized with attack of neuralgia
of the
heart and dies almost instantly. Funeral this afternoon.
Survived by husband and seven children all of whom are well known.
Rev. F. C. Viele will conduct the funeral services.
Attacked with neuralgia of the heart Tuesday morning at
5 o'clock at her
home in Yauger Hollow. Mrs. James Hanan, aged 74, died before
medical aid
could be summoned. She arose just a few minutes before 5 o'clock
and when
she returned to bed her husband noticed that she was breathing heavily.
He became alarmed when she failed to respond to his question
of how she
was feeling. An investigation proved that she was unconscious.
Dr. Means
of Percy was called but life was extinct when he arrived. Neuralgia
of the
heart was given as the cause of her death.
Mrs. Hanan had been troubled with neuralgic pains in her left
side and
abdomen for some time and it was the opinion of the attending physician
that
the affliction caused her sudden death. Mrs. Hanan was well known
in the
vicinity in which she resided. She had made her home in that
section of the
county for some time and was highly respected. As a member of
the Methodist
Protestant Church of Percy she was an earnest Christian worker and
will be
much missed in that church.
She is survived by the following children: Mrs. Thomas Evans,
Beaver
Falls; Mrs. Thomas Holland, Percy; Mrs. Charles Crawford, Yauger Hollow;
Mrs. David Newcomer, Lemont; William and James, of Yauger Hollow, and
John
at home.

services which will be
