HARRY COLT.

  Harry Colt, one of the town's best known citizens, passed away at his home, 
1332 Bald Eagle avenue, at 12:55 o'clock yesterday afternoon, death being due 
to a complication of diseases from which he had suffered for some time past.
  Harry Colt was a son of the late Robert and Laura Colt and was born at 
Marietta, Pa., January 14, 1858.  When a lad of 13 years he came to Tyrone, 
where he had since resided.  In 1883 he was united in marriage with Miss 
Tillie Carl, who survives with the following children to mourn the death of 
this loving husband and father: Mrs. Frank Patton, of Johnstown; John and 
Bessie, of Tyrone.  He is also survived by the following sisters: Mrs. J. P. 
Stroup, of Florence, Col.; Mrs. Carrie Ohler, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. W. H. 
Holsberg, of Lebanon.
  Mr. Colt was the possessor of a sunny disposition which made him a friend 
of all.  For many years he was employed at the West Virginia Pulp and Paper 
mill.  In politics he was a staunch Republican and for some time represented 
the Fourth ward as a committeeman.  He was a member of the First Methodist 
Episcopal church and when enjoying good health was numbered among the regular 
attendants.  He was also a charter member of Good Will Council No. 42, Junior 
Order United American Mechanics.
  Funeral services will be held at the late home on Saturday afternoon at 2 
o'clock, conducted by Rev. A. S. Fasick, D.D., pastor of the First Methodist 
Episcopal church.  Interment in Grand View cemetery.
