TYRONE TOPICS.

  Some six weeks ago, Mrs. Nettie, wife of Photographer W. H. Agnew, of 1136 
North Lincoln avenue, Tyrone, with the two children, went to Bedford to visit 
her mother, Mrs. B. M. Blymyer, at that place.  About a week after her arrival 
at her mother's home, George Alton Agnew, the eldest child, was stricken with 
typhoid fever, from which he never fully recovered, and died of that disease, 
and resulting causes combined, Sunday evening, July 9, at 7.30 o'clock.  The 
little boy was born at Bedford, Pa., June 21, 1893, and at death was aged 6 
years and 18 days.  The parents and one brother, Richard Louis, survive.  Mr. 
and Mrs. Agnew have resided in Tyrone cine 1894.  George Alton was a bright, 
pleasant little fellow, to whom the parents were much attached and their loss is 
severely felt.  The heartfelt sympathy of their friends and acquaintances in 
this community is with them in this the hour of their great affliction.  The 
young may die, the aged must.  Funeral services will be held at the home of Mrs. 
Blymyer at Bedford this evening at 5 o'clock.  Interment in the cemetery at that 
place.
