A Former Blair Countian Dead.

  Died at Greenwood Furnace, Huntingdon county, Pa., on Sunday morning, 
the 15th inst., of pneumonia, Joseph Bouslough, in the 62d year of his 
life.  The subject of this sketch was a native of Blair county.  He was 
born and with the exception of some two or three years grew to manhood 
on the farm now owned by Jerome Blaty.  When 16 years of age he was 
converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal church, of which during 
all the remainder of his life he was a useful and consistent member.  
He leaves two sons and two daughters to mourn his departure, his wife 
having died some ten or twelve years ago.  Mr. Bouslough has a number 
of friends in Blair county who will remember him as a warm Christian 
friend and brother in the years that have gone by.  It can be said of 
him truthfully that he lived the life of the righteous and that his end 
was peace.
