W. Christy, Sr. The Doctor was born in Juniata County, Pa., and early in his manhood, removed to this county, in the practice of his chosen profession, in which he was enthusiastic and earnest, at all times ready and willing to deprive himself of any comfort, to relieve his fellowman, when in distress and pain. He was a consistent member and communicant of the Presbyterian church for more than 30 years, and possessed such sterling virtues of heart and mind, as to command the respect of all who made his acquaintance. He was a most affectionate father and friend, and will ever be cherished in the hearts of his large family circle and numerous friends. In his death the community has lost a valuable citizen; the church a weekly member, and the medical profession a most valued counselor, one indeed who will be much missed and whose loss will be felt by his professional brethren as long as they live.
