MRS. AGNES GAUGHAN DIES SUDDENLY TODAY.

Young, popular matron found dead in bed, succumbing to heart attack.

WIDOW OF JOSEPH GAUGHAN

           Mrs. Agnes Franey Gaughan, 37, widow of Attorney Joseph Gaughan, passed away 
suddenly about 5 o'clock this morning at her home, 40 West Coal Street.  Mrs. Gaughan was 
found dead in bed, a heart attack causing death.

           She had been complaining the past three days of indigestion, but her condition 
was such as not to cause any alarm to immediate members of her family.

           Mrs. Gaughan was one of the community's prominent young matrons. She was 
exceedingly popular in social circles and a leader of the community's younger set.  
A cheerful and amiable disposition endeared her to countless friends, who share in sympathy 
with her family over her untimely and sudden passing.

           The departed was born in Shenandoah, a daughter of the late James J. and 
Mrs. B. A. Franey.  She attended the local public schools, and was a graduate of Merion 
Convent, in the suburbs of Philadelphia.  During the World War she did hospitalization 
work in the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Her husband, Attorney Gaughan, preceded his wife in 
death two years ago. She was a member of the Church of the Annunciation.

           Surviving are three children, Joseph, Fergus, and James; two brothers, Martin J., 
and Undertaker James J. Franey, of town; three sisters, Mrs. Ella Gallagher, Shenandoah; Mrs. 
Walter Hackett, Philadelphia; and Mrs. Hugh Vogan, Pittsburgh.

           The funeral will be held from the home of her brother, Undertaker James J. Franey,
131 North Jardin Street.  Funeral arrangements will be announced later
