Daughter of State Senator Succumbs in Switzerland to Anemia -- Miss
Gertrude Houston WOODWARD, of "Krishelm," Chestnut Hill, died today at
Zurich, Switzerland, according to word received by friends here.  Dr.
Woodward is a State Senator and Miss Woodward was his only daughter.
She has three brothers.  Her mother is the former Gertrude HOUSTON and
to distinguish them, the daughter was given the nickname of "Quita" when
a child.  She was graduated from the Springside School, Chestnut Hill,
and from Bryn Mawr College, in 1922.  Shortly afterwards she became ill,
a victim of anemia, and it was in an effort to aid her that her parents
took her to Switzerland in July, 1933.  Her condition was serious for
the past month.  Another brother, Lieutenant Henry Howard Houston
Woodward, a World War aviator with the Lafayette Escadrille, lost his
life while on a scouting expedition over German territory.  He was one
of 57 American heroes honored by a memorial garden in Verdun.  The
brothers surviving are Stanley Woodward, secretary of the American
Legation at Haiti; George Jr., who is with his parents in Switzerland,
and Charles H., a lawyer.

Injuries Prove Fatal for Prominent Democrat Hit by Car -- Henry J.
BURNS, for over 30 years a member of the Democratic City Committee from

his home, 5343 N. 16th st. on June 29.  In February, 1922, Burns was
appointed a magistrate by Governor SPROUL, but the appointment was
revoked the day after it was made.  Later that year, Burns was appointed
a tipstaff in Quarter Sessions Court by Judge Joseph P. McCULLEN, of
Common Pleas Court No. 4.  Previous to that time, Burns was for 13 years
superintendent of Branch E, the sub-postoffice at Kensington Ave and
Westmoreland St.  He attended St. Anne's Parochial School, and played
professional baseball.  He once formed a battery with Mt Kilroy, famous
A's left-handed hurler, as the pitcher.  Afterwards, Burns became a
minor league umpire.  He was a bachelor and is survived by a sister and
four brothers.

Little Mother Shows Efficiency In Peril - Seventeen-Year Old Girl
Carries Brother and Sister From Burning House -- Regina SHANLEY,
seventeen years old and pretty, is the kind of a girl who can best be
described by one word --efficiency.  She acts as a little mother to her
brother and sister not only while they're awake, but during the night as
well.  Her father, James Shanley is employed at night, so Regina must
also act as a guardian of the little home at 2860 Cedar street.  Early
this morning she saw a thin cloud of smoke streaming through the door.
She donned her clothes quickly and found the hallway clogged with
smoke.  Groping her way through the clouds she reached the rooms of her
sister and brother.  They were half asleep and dazed.  She carried them
one at a time to the street and then told them the house was on fire.
While a kind-hearted neighbor watched the children the little mother ran
to the fire station at Clearfield street below Frankford avenue and told
them of the fire.  Fortunately the quick work of the firemen prevented
the blaze from doing much damage.  The fire was caused, it is believed,
by mice chewing on matches.

Girl Dies Cleaning Room - Family Believes Acute Indigestion Responsible
for Child's Death -- While operating a vacuum cleaner in her room at her
home on Academy road, near Flenn st., Torresdale, yesterday, Helen

Mary Hendricks, the girl's mother, who was preparing dinner, called to
Helen to stop using the cleaner on Sunday.  She went upstairs and found
her daughter dead.  The girl's family believes acute indigestion was the
cause of death, but an investigation is being made.

Traveling through the old-time estate of the Fishers, Carpenters, and
Wisters, known as "Wakefield," east of Fisher's Lane station on the
Germantown and Chestnut Hill branch of the Reading Railway, recently,
Francis LYNCH, a young man of No. 2142 Grange street, East Germantown,
came across a wrinkled letter, written in ink and in a fair condition of
preservation.  The communication was dated "Wakefield, 2d mo. 10th,
1850" and addressed to "My dear Brother," who was then living in
California.  The four-page letter was signed by "S. Lindley FISHER," who
in the first part of the letter tells with much grief of the "sudden
death or our dear sister, Sarah, who is no more, to comfort, counsel and
direct.  Dr. SHARPLESS attended her and was unwearied in his
attentions.  Her daughter, Elizabeth was with her at time of death.
When Elizabeth said to her: 'Oh, ma, how hard it is to see thee suffer,'
she replied, "We must have patience.'  Later on she said 'Lord, I am
ready.'  Death soon followed and the funeral took place on Sixth Day
afternoon.  I had left my husband so indisposed that I did not feel easy
to be longer away.  Sally Ann ELLICOTT remained with them more than a
week.  Dear brother, all thy friends here think it will be very wrong
for thee to run the risque of permanently injuring thy health by
remaining in California.  In returning home you will surely find a
business that will be much more suitable for thee than gold digging.
William WISTER is a good deal annoyed just now by being on the Grand
Jury, of which they have made him foreman.  Lindley came from Duncannon
yesterday, arriving here about noon.  The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has prohibited the running of cars on their road on First Day and he was
obliged to come to Harrisburg in the wagon, which makes it very
fatiguing - more than 100 miles by railroad and 22 on turnpike.  We have
not had a severe winter, but some very cold days.  We did not fill our
ice house with the first ice of the season and it looks very doubtful if
we shall get any."
