Mr.Arthur died Friday;April 30;and his sister passed away yesterday;May 6;1926. Mrs.McCafferty and her brother had lived together in Belle Vernon for a number of years and were well-known. A short time ago;they were both seized with an attack of influenza and as there was no one to care for them;no relatives being known;the two were removed to the Charleroi-Monessen hospital. Mr.Arthur’s condition was grave;resulting in his death last Friday;April 30. Mrs. McCafferty’s condition was also serious but she was expected to recover.
