DEATHS OF A DAY

MARTIN CRISSMAN.

Martin Crissman, a well known farmer of Elberta, Sinking valley, died
suddenly at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ira Gates, in Juniata Gap,
at 9:25 o'clock last night, of apoplexy.  He had been visiting at the
Gates home for the past week, was apparently in excellent health and
yesterday assisted in butchering.  He walked out of the kitchen to the
porch about 6 o'clock, was seized with a sudden dizziness and called
his daughter to assist him back into the house.  He was placed on a
couch and gradually grew worse until he passed away, dying in his
daughter's arms.

Deceased was aged 64 years and had resided for many years in the
vicinity of Elberta.  His wife preceded him to the grave four years
ago and he is survived by four children - Mrs. Bessie Gates, at whose
home he died; Miss Margaret Crissman, a school teacher at Eldorado;
James, in Ohio, and another daughter residing at Mifflintown.  The
funeral arrangements have not been completed and will be announced
later.
