     Mrs Eliza Eyre, wife of Pennell Eyre, of 1111 Spruce St, died last
evening after a short illness. Yesterday morning Mrs Eyre was in the best of
health apparently, and remarked to the family that she felt exceedingly
well. Shortly before Noon she was seized with a pain about the heart and
grew weaker until she passed away shortly before 8PM. The cause of death was
paralysis of the heart.
     Mrs Eyre was born in Brandywine Hundred, Delaware, 63 years ago and
came of the Hanby family of Hanby's Corner in Delaware where her relatives
are well to do. For many years she resided near Chelsea in Bethel Twp.,
where her husband conducted a farm. About 16 years ago they removed to
Chester. Four children survive: Frank, Robert, Lulu and Bertha, all of whom
are well and favorably known.
     The sudden death of Mrs Eyre shocked the neighborhood. The deceased was
a faithful member of the Providence Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church. The
funeral will occur on Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock from the husband's
residence and services will take place at 2:30 in the Providence Avenue
church, in charge of the Rev Josiah Rawden, the Pastor.
