JUNIATA YOUNG MAN IS KILLED AT BROWNSVILLE

  Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Cornelius of 823 Third avenue, Juniata, received a 
telegram late yesterday afternoon announcing the death of their son, Marion 
Russell Cornelius, aged 25, he having been killed on Wednesday evening in 
some manner while in the discharge of his duties as a brakeman on the Lake 
Erie division of the Pennsy at Brownsville, Fayette county.
  The telegram merely stated that the young man had been killed while 
working and asked about the disposition of the body.  The young man had 
formerly worked in the Juniata railroad yards as a brakeman, having been 
employed there for three years.  
  He was born at Patton on June 18, 1895, the son of Samuel and Harriet 
Kocher (Cornelius).  Beside his parents he is survived by the following 
brothers and sisters: Harry of Juniata, Mrs. J. W. Dunn of Greenwood, Mrs. 
H. G. Seales [Scales?] of Juniata and Jessie G., at home.
  No funeral arrangement have been made pending the arrival of the body from 
Brownsville.  Undertaker N. E. Rohrer of the firm of Rohrer and Mauk left 
for Brownsville for the body last evening.
