this might be one who married Woolheater instead of other Mollieat St. Joseph CSSR where there was a Mary Woolheater who died May 3, 1907 and was buried May 7, 1907 at Mt. Calvary. Officially Mt. Calvary cemetery closed in 1891 however relatives were still burying their dead there until roughly 1908.
The information from the Mary Woolheater record reads: May 3-7-1907 Mary Woolheater born in Kansas age 45 died from complications Pastor Fr. H. J. Guenther buried at Calvary. St. Joseph’s for many years had close ties to Denver General Hospital now Denver Health and it is possible she may have died at the hospital perhaps after a surgery.

The Terror of The Valley
The Prowess of Thomas Coleman in The Early Days Kept
The Indians at Bay and Made Tuckahoe Valley PeacefulTHE history of the upper end of Tuckahoe Valley, that is, the section of country
between Tyrone and Kittanning Point, of which Altoona is now the centre, can be
written in a very small space so far as it antedates the memory of the oldest
inhabitants.
While the valleys immediately surrounding it are rich in the lore of the
aborigines who a little more than a century ago were its undisputed owners, the
tides of frontier war surged around the peaceful section lying between the Brush
Mountain and the main range of the Alleghanies on the west. As far back as any
record of events has been kept, Frank's old town or Frankstown, was on the map
as a trading post and permanent settlement along the great Kittanning trail over
which the various tribes of Indians that peopled the province of Pennsylvania
traveled from east to west. Hollidaysburg, Standing Stone, Fort Roberteau at
Arch Springs and numerous other points along the Juniata Valley were celebrated
by stirring events, but the lonely settlers along what is now the main line of
the Pennsylvania Railroad were never much disturbed by wars, alarms or the
warwhoop of the Indian.
The only recorded murder by the red man in the immediate vicinity of Altoona
was in the spring of 1778, at what is now East Altoona. John Guilliford had
cleared a small patch of ground and built a cabin at the limestone spring that
gushes from the foot of the hill at a point opposite the East Altoona or Blair
Furnace Station, and which but a few years ago was the springhouse or dairy for
the John Trout and Philip Bartlebaugh farms. The rendezvous for all the settlers
at that time when the Indians threatened, was Fetter's Fort, located one mile
west of where Hollidaysburg now is, and in the spring of this year, Mr.
Gulliford had taken his family to the fort, but later on in the season, went to
see how his crops were progressing, and was killed by the Indians who frequented
the spring because of its excellent water. His body was found the same day by
that mighty scout and Indian fighter, Thomas Coleman, and his comrade, Milligan.
The historian of that time says that the principal reason for the quietness of
this section and its freedom from Indian raids was owing to the great fear on
the part of the redskin for "Old Coley," or Thomas Coleman. The great Kittanning
trail led directly through the valley by the big spring, but after the fame of
Thomas Coleman and his brother, Michael, as Indian slayers had spread far and
wide, the red man avoided their habitation in the Juniata Gap as they would the
plague, and the war path was moved across to the valleys to the south and east
by way of Hollidaysburg and Frankstown. In the fall of 1777, Thomas Coleman was
hunting one day where Hutchison's Curve below the "Red Bridge" now is, when he
saw two Indians coming toward him each carrying a white child that they had
picked up. He was afraid to fire for fear of hitting the children, but coolly
stepped into the path of the Indians and demanded their surrender. Recognizing
their arch and terrible enemy, they dropped their burdens and fled like the
wind.
The Coleman Brothers came to the Juniata Valley from Northumberland County on
the Susquehanna, and Thomas had in his heart a burning desire for vengeance that
seemed to be never quenched. While boiling maple sugar with his brother on the
banks of the Susquehanna one day, he returned from a turkey hunt to find that
the red fiends had boiled the brother who had been left in charge of the sugar
camp in one of the kettles. Then and there he vowed to hunt the red man to the
death so long as his own life should last, and while he always hunted alone by
preference and never admitted to a living soul that he had ever killed an
Indian, there was no tribe in the east that did not fear him. As late as the war
of 1812, the Indians met along the Canadian Frontier by the Pennsylvania
soldiers invariably inquired about "Old Coley," and one who represented himself
as a son of Shingas, the great chief, pointed to a huge tomahawk scar on his
forehead and said "Old Coley gave me that," which would seem to indicate that he
got into close quarters as well as doing execution with his deadly rifle.
That he loved the game for its own sake is demonstrated by an account of a
sortie he led from Fort Fetter in the fall of 1777. The Indians had massacred
all the people in a Dunkard settlement in Morrison's Cove and the party was
camping about a mile east of Kittanning Point waiting for scattered members of
the band to join them, when they were discovered by Thomas and Michael Coleman
and Michael Wallace who were out for the purpose of killing venison for the
people it the fort. About four inches of snow had fallen in the morning and the
hunters saw the moccasin tracks in the snow and soon located the camp. Thomas
Coleman saw that it was a large party, but sent his brother to the fort to bring
the sixteen available men with instructions not to tell them how many Indians
there were for fear they might become frightened and refuse to come. The men who
came were Edward Milligan, Samul Jack, William Moore, George and John Fetter,
William Holliday, Richard Clausir, John McDonald and one or two others whose
names have been lost.
Thomas Coleman led the party to the light of the Indian camp fire. Night had
come on and it was very cold. The Indians had their guns stacked around a tree
and one of them was mixing a can of war paint over the fire. Coleman wanted to
steal up and take away the Indians' guns and the whites would then have them at
their mercy, but he could not do the job alone and there was none brave enough
to go with him. Coleman then told each man to pick his target and fire
simultaneously at his command. Three or four of the Indians fell and Thomas
called upon his comrades to load quickly as the unhurt savages sprang for their
guns, but when he looked around he discovered that the men had all run except
Wallace and Holliday. They were too few to fight alone and rejoined their
companions at the fort; but Coleman led them out again next morning, but were
unable to come up with the Indians who had carried off their dead and wounded.
Except the numerous personal exploits of Thomas Coleman, these were about the
only Indian fights that ever took place in this immediate vicinity, the red man
always giving the Coleman cabin a wide berth after the fort was abandoned.from Blair cty Pa history
Thomas Coleman while hunting alone came upon two unarmed Indians who were carrying off two captive children: and leveling his rifle at them with a stern command to halt! they quickly dropped the children and fled.
Coleman was a great Indian fighter well known and feared by the red men of the Juniata valley. It is said that he killed a number of them to avenge the death of a brother slain by the savages years before in the Susquehanna valleycemetery has death year as 1833 vs 1837.
