TYRONE TOPICS.

  Claude J., third son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry C. Burley (both parents 
having gone before), died at the home of his brothers, Ogle, on Logan 
street, yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, after a short illness, of 
typhoid fever.  He was born in this town June 15, 1868, and at death 
had arrived at the age of 22 years, 6 months and 24 days.  He leaves to 
mourn his early departure to the great beyond three brothers and two 
sisters: Ogle, an engineer on the Tyrone division; Mrs. Bella, wife of 
Harry R. Myers, civil engineer and coal operator, of this place; Joseph 
G., of Moore & Burley, contractors of our town; Miss May, of Osceola 
Mills, and Earnest, who has a home with his brother Ogle.  After 
serving an apprenticeship in the photo copying establishment of Daniel 
Harris here, some three years ago, Claude accepted a position in the 
bank at Houtzdale, which, in July last, he relinquished to accept a 
similar position in the First National bank of our town, which 
commenced business August 7, 1890, he having held the place of leading 
book-keeper until his late illness.  He was a member of Washington 
camp, Patriotic Order Sons of America, of Houtzdale, and also vice 
president of the Young Men's Republican league, of this place.  A young 
man of many sterling qualities, his early demise is to be regretted.  
The funeral service and time of interment will be announced to-morrow, 
at which time we may have more to say.

life.
