  Dr. W. S. Burd, a prominent dentist residing in Bellwood, dropped 
dead yesterday morning as he alighted from an automobile along the 
Juniata river near Huntingdon, where he had gone to spend part of the 
day fishing, with a party of anglers.  They were taken to the scene by 
Charles E. Figart, and he expired instantly on alighting from the --?.  
Dr. Burd, accompanied by E. F. Barrett, jeweler, W. S. Bolesbaugh,

left Bellwood at 6 o'clock this morning for Huntingdon to spend the day 
fishing and they reached their destination before 8 o'clock, when Dr.

the morning, notifying Bellwood relatives by telephone.  The body was 
turned over to Huntingdon funeral directors and will be brought to

was one of the best known residents of the town.  He is survived by his
