MRS. McFADDEN DEAD

MRS. REBECCA H. McFADDEN, widow of the late THOMAS J.
McFADDEN, for many years professor of science at Otterbein
University, died at 9:30 last evening at her home, 40 West
Warder street.  MRS. McFADDEN was about 70 years old and
through the prominence of her late husband, as well as that
of her two sons, who followed in their father's profession, 
enjoyed a wide acquaintance.  Mrs. McFadden was loved and
admired by many.  In recent years she has lived in Dayton.
Her daughter, MISS CORA McFADDEN, is head proof reader
at the United Brethern Publishing House.  Her son, LOUIS, is
professor of science at Otterbein and her son GILBERT has
the same chair at Lebanon Valley college, A??ville, Pa.
Arrangements for the funeral have not been completed, but
the body will probably be taken to Westerville for interment.
