DIED FROM HER INJURIES.

Death Took Place a Few Hours After , Being Injured. Mrs. Mary McDonald, wife of Wm. McDonald, of Pleasant, Ridge, died Monday night from injuries received in the morning. She was driving to McCoysburg, and the fly net on the horse becoming disarranged, she got out of the buggy to fix it. When she started to get in the buggy again the horse started and she was caught in the wheel. The horse only took a few steps, but her right leg was broken so badly that the bones protruded through the flesh, and she also received internal injuries. Owing to the advanced age of 75 years and her feeble condition, she was unable' to withstand the shock and died in a few hours. She leaves a huband and ten children, all but one of whom were present at the time of her death. The funeral was held at the Christian church in Rensselaer yesterday forenoon, Elder J. L. Braddy conducting the services. Interment took place at Weston cemetery.
