Mrs. Julia A. Trees, aged 87, died Friday morning at 8:45, March 17, 1916, of heart trouble, at her home near Saltsburg Pa. Mrs. Trees was the daughter of Maj. S. S. Jamison, and was born in Saltsburg, March 27, 1829, and she had lived here all her life. Her husband, Levi Trees, a pioneer settler in this region, died 20 years ago. She leaves five sons and two daughters, as follows: James L. of Newcomerstown, OH.; T. B. of Tarentum; J. Frank, of Brackenridge; Asa T. of Chicora, Pa., and Harry Trees, at home; Mrs. H. J. Parker, of Pittsburgh, and Mrs. Sarah M. Blair, of Punxsutawney, Pa. A brother, S. S. Jamison, and a sister, Mrs. Mary Badger also survives. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Saltsburg for 65 years, a record of unusual length.
The funeral services were held at her late home on Monday at 1:30 p. m., with her pastor, Rev. George M. Ryall, in charge. Interment was made in Edgewood Cemetery where her husband was interred.
Thus passes away another of Saltsburg’s oldest and most respected women. She was as well as usual a few hours before death.
Survivors in the home are Miss. Susan Rumbaugh, who has been in the Trees home for 60 years, and Julia Trees, a daughter of Asa Trees.
Among the friends from a distance in attendance at the funeral, in addition to the sons and daughters who were all here, were the following: Charles Johnston, of Wilkinsburg; Paul Trees, of Pittsburgh; Mr. and Mrs. Hanna, of East End Pittsburgh; Miss Hattie C. Jamison, Harrisburg; Mrs. H. H. Household, of McKeesport; Mrs. A. C. Hammitt and Mrs. Townsend, of Apollo.
