Mrs. Rust and Mrs. McKee Die

New York, 1895

Mrs. H. A. Rust departed this life at 10.30 P. M. on Tuesday. The people of Aqueduct were surprised to hear the fact announced, although she had been weak for some time. A hemorrhage suddenly ushered her out of time. She was very highly esteemed by all who knew her. The funeral services will be held at the M. P. Church, Centreville avenue, at 2 o'clock to-day. A special funeral sermon will be preached on Sunday evening by the Rev. W. E. Blandy.

Mrs. Hannah McKee, widow of the late George C. McKee, of Jamaica, died at Cypress Hills on Friday. The funeral took place on Sunday. The interment was in Grace church yard.
