Aged 35, was found dead of a heart attack in bed at his home at 202 Garber 
street, Hollidaysburg, at 10.40 o'clock this morning, Deputy Coroner Edgar G. 
Walls reported.  Mr. Burket, who was employed at the Allegheny club in 
Hollidaysburg for the past five years, was discovered by an aunt, Miss Carrie 
Feathers, when she went to his room at that time to notify him that a nephew, 
William A. Schneider, III, aged 1, had arrived to spend the day with the family 
while his parents were out of the borough.  Mr. Walls said that Mr. Burket 
apparently had been dead for about one hour before Miss Feathers went to call 
him.  He was born Oct. 30, 1912, and was the son of H. R. Burket, with whom he 
made his home.  Surviving are his father, two brothers, Luther W. and Harry 
Burket, both of Hollidaysburg; a sister, Mrs. Mary Schneider of Hollidaysburg, 
and his grandmother, Mrs. Elizabeth Burket of Hollidaysburg, R.D.
