Mechanicsburg, March 3 - The death of Mrs. William Eckels, which occurred yesterday evening about six o'clook, following so close upon that of her husband, who departed this life several weeks ago, was a sad blow to the many friends of this aged lady. The deceased had been ailing for some time, but it was only the past ten days that her friends became alarmed, but still they were not prepared for so early a demise. The deceased was born in Carlisle, and her maiden name was Proctor. She moved with her husband to Mechanicsburg about fifty years ago, and has lived here ever since, held in the highest respect and esteem. She was a Christian woman in the strictest sense, a member of the Presbyterian Church. Up to within a few months of her death she was a regular attendant of every church service, At a ripe old ago she has passed to her reward. Three sons survive her. The funeral will be held Monday afternoon from her late residence, the hour at this writing not having been definitely decided upon. Interment will be made in the Mechanicsburg Cemetery.
