RECENT DEATHS

Nathan and Henry Keirn 
Nathan Keirn, aged 92, who died at Fairview, near Altoona, last week, was one 
of the oldest residents of that community. He spent the greater part of his life
in Cherrytree, this county. Mr. Keirn was a remarkably active old gentleman, and
when in his 84th year walked from Altoona to Cherrytree and back again. He is 
survived by a posterity consisting of 350 souls. His remains were interred at 
East Ridge, Cambria county. Henry, his youngest son, whose home is in Allegheny, 
attended his father's funeral, returning afterwards to the home of his brother,
Abram, at East Ridge. A few hours after Henry's arrival at the house his niece
went out into the back yard and found him dead upon the ground. It is thought 
his death was produced through emotion over the death of his father. He was 
aged 55 years.

Additional Comments:
I have no additional information on these people, this was on the same page as 
my obituary. I do have a photo copy of the newspaper article.
