LIFE LONG RESIDENT OF COUNTY DIES SUDDENLY AT NEW WILMINGTON

Mrs. Nancy VanGorder, age 78 years, a life-long resident of this county, and a member of one of the pioneer families of this locality, died at 5 o'clock this morning at New Wilmington, where she had resided some four years. She formerly lived in this city, on County Line street, until after the death of her husband, the late Israel VanGorder. Mrs. VanGorder was only taken ill last Thursday and her death was thus quite sudden. Not all her friends even knew her condition was serious. Bowel trouble was the cause of dissolution. Mrs. Van Gorder was a daughter of James Vance, one of the pioneer residents of this county, who more than a century ago settled upon the Slippery Rock. She is survived by one brother, William Vance, of New Wilmington, while two brothers and six sisters are dead.

Interment was made in Slippery Rock Cemetery.
