CLAAR HERSHBERGER

Special to the Tribune.
  Bedford, Jan. 7. - After an illness of several weeks from pneumonia, Claar 
Hershberger, aged about 34 years, passed away at his home on West Penn Street 
yesterday afternoon.  Deceased was the second son of John and the late Ella 
Claar Hershberger and was born at this place.  Several years ago he was 
married to Miss Long, of Hopewell, who, with one child survives; he also 
leaves his father, two sisters and a brother: Mrs. D. Donahoe, Mrs. Edgar 
Miller, and William Hershberger, all of this place.  Interment will be made in 
the local cemetery tomorrow afternoon, services being held at his late home.  
For some time Mr. Hershberger had been janitor at the public school building 
and his work was thorough and satisfactory.  Since his illness a number of the 
teachers have been unable to fill their contracts on account of the low 
temperature in a part of the building, the heating plant not being understood 
by those who are endeavoring to fill the janitor's place.
