Rev. James G. Austin,

One of Tyrone's oldest citizens, died at his home in that place 
yesterday morning.  He was born in Belfast, Ireland, eighty-two years 
ago.  At an early age he came to this country with his parents who 
settled at Philadelphia, where he graduated at the University of 
Pennsylvania and afterward graduated at the Canonsburg Theological 
seminary.  In Philadelphia he was married, and became a clergyman of 
the United Presbyterian denomination.  Twenty years ago he settled with 
his family in Tyrone where he had resided ever since and during which 
time he had not been engaged at active work.  Surviving the deceased 
are his wife and five sons, James M., Alfred F., William W., and Edgar 
E., of Tyrone; and Edwin C., of Snow Shoe.  Funeral services will be 
conducted at the late home of the deceased at 2 o'clock tomorrow
