WILLIAM H. FAY

  Bedford, Pa., January 21. - William H. Fay, after an illness of two weeks 
from influenza, died Sunday evening at his home on Spring street, the third 
of the family to die within the week.  His wife passed away last Monday, and 
a week-old son on Friday; another son, Billy, is quite ill at this time.  Mr. 
Fay, who was a son of Mrs. Jacob Diehl, of Friend's Cove, was aged about 35 
years.  About ten years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Emily Maine, of 
this place.  Four small sons and his mother survive.  Mr. Fay was a veteran 
of the Spanish-American war, having served with the navy and at the time of 
his honorable discharge was on the U.S. steamship Buffalo.  The funeral 
services will likely be held tomorrow afternoon with interment by the side of 
his wife in the local cemetery, Rev. J. A. Eyler, of the Reformed church 
officiating.
