Mrs. Eliza J. Gaston died at her home in Canonsburg on Monday Sept. 2, of stricture of the bowels, in the 74th year of her age. Mrs. Gaston was a woman of noble character, a consistent Christian, a kind neighbor, a true and sympathetic friend, and the number of those who sorrow because she is not, is many.
Mrs. Gaston, whose maiden name was Miller, was born and reared in the region of McDonald, this county. In early womanhood she was united in marriage with Edward Anderson, who lived on and owned what is now the Curry farm, just east of the borough. One son was the result of this union. He died in 1861. About 30 years ago Mr. Anderson sold his farm to Mr. Curry and moved to town. He died some three years later.
Some years later the widow was married to Squire Joseph Gaston, the founder of Gastonville and a prominent citizen of the county. Not long after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Gaston removed to Canonsburg. Mr. Gaston died in 1878. At the time of his death he was filling the office of county commissioner. It has been mentioned that Mrs. Gaston had one son who died in '61; she had also an adopted daughter, who survives, Mrs. Daniel Weller of Central avenue. Mrs. Gaston was for many years a member of the First Presbyterian church. -- Notes
