The death of Margaret Mary A., widow of the late Captain Henry J. Hendler, occurred rather suddenly at 11:07 o'clock on Saturday night, at the family residence, No. 12 South Centre street. The deceased was taken with pleural pneumonia three days previous to her death and the ravages of the disease were too severe for her system to overcome. Everything that medical science could suggest was done to afford relief, but nothing availed, and she passed to her final reward at the hour above stated. Her death came as a severe shock to the family, as it has only been four months ago to-day that her husband died of a similar complaint.
Deceased would have reached the age of 76 years had she lived until August first. She was a native of Alsace, and came to this country with her parents, M. and Mrs. Anthony Garner, when but a few months of age. She resided in Pottsville during the greater part of her life. She was united in marriage to Captain Henry J. Hendler, on April 13th, 1846, and to this union eleven children were born. Mrs. Hendler has always been possessed of a cheerful disposition and kindly spirit which endeared her to all with whom she came in contact. She was a faithful wife and mother, and was always looked upon as one of the most philanthropic and whole souled christian ladies of the community.
Eight children survive her, as follows: Margaret, wife of Charles Hack, deceased; Henry A., a compositor on the Buffalo Courier; Emma wife of Hamilton Lloyd, of Delaware; Charles T. of Washington; Florence, wife of John F. James, of Roanoke, Va.; Laura, Alice C., and Leonora, at home. Three children are deceased. These are, Mary S. wife of Dr. William C. J. Smith, of St. Claire; Ellen and Anna.
The funeral will take place on Wednesday morning from the family residence. Requiem high mass will be celebrated at St. John the Baptist's Roman Catholic church, after which interment will be made at No 3 cemetery."
