AKELY--At her residence, No. 10 North Ave., Allegheny, August 27, 1893, Susan Drum Mechling, wife of Archibald Blakeley, Esq., aged about 68 years.
Her husband and three sons survive her. She was buried in the Mechling lot, South Side Cemetery, Butler, Wednesday.
Mrs. Blakeley was born and raised in Butler and was a daughter of the late Hon. Jacob Mechling, Jr., and a grand daughter of the elder Jacob Mechling, who was one of the first comers and most prominent of the early citizens of this place. Her grandmother's maiden name as Drum, for whom she was named, and hence she was known in her early life as Susan Drum Mechling. Her mother, Jane Thompson, was one of the large family of that name in Middlesex Twp., this county, of whom the late ex-Chief Justice of our State Supreme Court, James Thompson, was also one. Mrs. Blakeley was married to Mr. Blakeley about 1853 and after living here for some years they removed to Pittsburgh, and from there to Franklin and from there back to Allegheny. Some two years ago she was attacked with the then common complaint known as the grip, from the effects of which it is said she never recovered and finally died.
Mrs. Blakeley was a most estimable woman. To her early friends and associates of this place yet living the news of her death was learned with sorrow and regret. They remembered her with the kindliest feelings. Her noble and generous nature, agreeable manners, kindly and charitable disposition made her the friend of all. None of them here but readily pay a last tribute to her worth and memory.
Mr. Joseph B. Mechling, living near town, is a brother to her, and the venerable Thomas Mechling is an uncle.
The remains were brought to Butler for interment on Wednesday morning last. They were met at the depot by the pallbearers and many friends and taken to the Episcopal church, where impressive services were held, conducted by the aged Rev. White, Rev. Hemminway, the pastor, and Rev. Arundel, a pastor from Pittsburgh. After which they were deposited in the Lutheran burial ground of the South Cemetery.
The pall-bearers were Hon. E. McJunkin, John M. Sullivan, John H. Negley, Henry C. Heineman, Charles Duffy, Dr. A. M. Neyman, J. D. McJunk, and Lev. McQuistion.
