BEACH.

  Roy B. Beach died yesterday morning in a Philadelphia hospital from 
an attack of influenza.  He was employed as a machinist by the 
Pennsylvania Railroad company and several days ago he was injured and 
taken to the hospital.  While seriously hurt, the injuries were not of 
a character to cause death, but influenza developed with fatal results.  
He was 30 years old and a son of Mr. and Mrs. M. K. Beach of 
Hollidaysburg.  He had been in Philadelphia about three years, prior to 
which he had worked in the store of his brother, R. D. Beach, the 
grocer, at 1330 Twelfth avenue.  He was married and is survived by his 
wife.  The body was brought to this city last night and arrangements 
for the funeral will be completed today.
