DAVID BOLLINGER

Died suddenly of an attack of neuralgia at 3 o'clock this morning, at his 
home, 1812 Eighth avenue.  He was born at Millheim, Center county, March 2, 
1823.  He learned coach making and first followed that occupation at 
Mifflinburg, where he married Miss Catharine Auble.  The result of this union 
was nine children, eight of whom are still living, viz,: John W., William S., 
Chas., Grant, Mrs. M. E. Boate and Mrs. Adolf Shiffler, all of this city and 
Mrs. Emma Carr of Roanoke, Va. and Mrs. Sue Kellar of Ashley, Pa.  Mr. 
Bollinger joined the Methodist church fifty years ago.  He was a thorough and 
sincere Christian in all his walks in life.  So earnest was he in attending 
his church duties that yesterday morning, although in a greatly enervated 
state, he went to the Eighth Avenue church, but was unable on his arrival 
there to mount the steps unaided.  At dinner neuralgia pains seized him, and 
for eight hours his sufferings were intense.  During a residence of twenty 
years in this city he was in the employ of the railroad company under Forman 
McNoldy.
