Death of Josiah M. Christy in Cincinnati.

Josiah M. Christy, brother of Dr. J. T. Christy, of this city, died in
Cincinnati Tuesday morning of inflammation of the brain.  He was born
in Cambria county, near Loretto, and was about 50 years of age.  He
had been a very successful railroad contractor for many years and was
at one time in very good circumstances, although we have not been
informed of what business he had been following recently.  He lived in
Gallitzin nearly all his life time and only went to Cincinnati last
fall on account of failing health.  His family remained in Gallitzin.
His remains will be brought back to Gallitzin and buried on Thursday
morning in the Catholic cemetery at that place.  He was married to
Miss Ann Conrad, a daughter of James Conrad, of Newry, who with five
children survive him.  Mr. Christy had an extensive acquaintance
throughout the state and was universally respected.  He enlisted in
the Eighty-fourth regiment Pennsylvania volunteers and served until
the end of the war, part of the time as sutler.
