D. W. Baumgardner,

A respected citizen of the east side, died at 8:20 this morning at his 
late residence, 828 Seventh avenue, of a complication of diseases 
resulting from a recent attack of the grip.  Deceased was born in 
Cassville, Huntingdon county, July 26, 1850, and was therefore in his 
43d year.  He was a widower, his wife having preceded him to the grave 
some six months ago, since which time he has had the care of four 
children, Anna May, James A., Thomas R. and Priscilla, to whom he 
proved a kind father.  He is also survived by his aged mother, now Mrs. 
Kate Agnew, by two brothers, S. M., of this city, and P. S., of Kansas, 
and two sisters, Mrs. Ella Bragonier and Mrs. Anna Claybaugh, both of 
this city.  He was a charter member of Mountain City lodge, 837, 
I.O.O.F., and an attendant of the Memorial Baptist church.  The funeral 
arrangements have not yet been completed and will be announced in 
tomorrow's edition.
