WILLIAM LUTHER COLEMAN.

  At an early hour yesterday morning Mr. William Luther Coleman died at 
the state asylum for the insane at Harrisburg.  The deceased's home was 
at Fourth avenue and Sixth street, Juniata, and he was one of the best 
known residents of the county.  He was born on the Coleman farm in 
Logan township, about 45 years ago.  For some fifteen years he was a 
resident of Juniata and was an employe of the Pennsylvania railroad 
company under Foreman D. T. Goodman, near Blair Blair [sic] Furnace.  
In 1876 he was united in marriage to Miss Amanda C. Cox, who died in 
1891.  To this union one daughter, Nellie, was born, and who is still 
living.  In 1895 he was married to Mrs. Jennie Vance, who, with one 
daughter, survives.  These brothers and sisters are living: J. B. 
Coleman, of Juniata; Thomas L. Coleman, of Sinking Valley; Mrs. Samuel 
Black and Mrs. Ella Noble, of Logan township.  Mr. Coleman was taken to 
Harrisburg about two months ago suffering from the effects of being 
thrown from a horse.  The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon at 2 
o'clock from his late residence.
