oldest residents and merchants, died at his home, 1303 Second avenue, 
of inflammation of the bowels.  His death was sudden as he was only 
taken sick during the morning.  Deceased was born in Wurttemberg, 
Germany, July 10, 1855.  He came to America when a youth and late in 
the fifties settled in Altoona.  He entered the employ of the
