- "The Indiana Progress" (Indiana, PA) on Wednesday, November 18, 1896, page 1, column 2:
Mrs. Margaret Jane Speedy, wife of the last Hugh M. Speedy, died at the home of her son, Clark W. Speedy, in Conemaugh township, Wednesday morning, November 11, 1896. The deceased and her daughter Isabelle had resided for some time past in the village of Livermore and a few days before her death, accompanied by her daughter, she was visiting her son when she contracted a cold which developed into pneumonia, and on the morning of her 83d birthday her spirit passed beyond. The deceased was an excellent Christian woman and lived the life she professed in her every day walk and conversation to which all her neighbors bear tribute, saying, "In sickness and sorry she was a true friend." She was a quiet and retiring woman and in her own sickness and weakness she was patient and resigned to the will of Him who so kindly cared for her during her long earthly pilgrimage. Her original name was Margaret Jane Dunlap. Early in life she was married to the late Samuel McCreery, of Conemaugh township, and was the mother of three children, two of whom are still living. January 27, 1846, she was married to the last Hugh M. Speedy, of Conemaugh township. In this marriage she was the mother of five children, three of who survive her. Funeral services were conducted on Friday morning at the home of her son where she died by Rev. Jones, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Livermore, assisted by her former pastor, Dr. Irwin, of Ebenezer, who paid a handsome tribute to the faithfulness in life of this mother in Israel. Her earthly remains were laid to rest in the burying grounds of the Ebenezer church where her dust will mingle with that of those she loved in life and her spirit has gone to forever dwell with the ransomed of God.
