Lansberry, A. C.
April 14, 1926
Word was received Tuesday evening by Mrs. George M. Stewart of South Fairview street that her mother, Mrs. A. C. Lansberry of Bigler, Clearfield county, had died that morning after a brief illness with influenza from which it was thought she had recovered. The telegram conveying the news of her death carried an incorrect word and the Stewart family was under the impression for several hours, that Mrs. Stewart’s brother and not her mother had died.
Mrs. Lansberry had visited here yearly. She was 78 years old and had been a resident of Clearfield county all her life. She is survived by her daughter, Mrs. Stewart, and one son, Reed Barger, of Woodland, Pa.
Mr. Stewart went to Bigler Tuesday evening and Mrs. Stewart and other members of the family expect to leave
tomorrow morning to attend the funeral.
