Died Saturday Morning at Mercy Hospital

Saturday at 10 o'clock Patrick Burns, one of the oldest citizens of
Tyrone Borough passed into the eternal life.  Mr. Burns had been in
failing health for some time from a complication of diseases.  Last
Monday he became much worse and his children were advised to take him
to Mercy Hospital, Altoona, for treatment.  The change did not benefit
him and he continued to grow worse until the final summons came this
morning at the above  time. Patrick Burns was born in Dongal county,
Ireland and was aged about sixty-five years.  When he was a young man
of twenty years he came to America and located in Tyrone.  During his
younger days, he followed the occupation of excavating contractor. He
was industrious and performed his work in a most efficient manner.  He
was a kind, good husband and father and will be greatly missed. His
wife preceded him to the grave November 1, 1910.  He was a member of
St. Matthews Catholic church.  Surviving to mourn his death are the
following children:  Mrs. William Manes, Altoona; John, William and
Margaret at home.
