  Joseph Cryder, who has been ailing with brain troubles for some weeks 
past, died at his home in Grazierville yesterday morning at 10.49 
o'clock, aged 41 years, 6 months and 18 days.  He was born in Sinking 
Valley on the 20th of September, 1849, at the old homestead on Elk run, 
and was united in marriage on the 10th day of June, 1875, to Miss Sarah 
Jane Markel, at Bellwood, by Rev. Swinden.  He leaves to mourn their 
loss his wife and one child, a daughter, aged about 6 years; also three 
brothers and two sisters, viz, Henry, of the First National bank, 
Altoona; John, of Sinking Valley; Edward, of Cedar county, Iowa; Mrs. 
Martha, wife of Abram Fleck, of Sinking Valley; and Miss Frances, of 
Altoona; also two half-brothers and one half-sister, viz, Peter Cryder, 
of Pittsburgh; Mahlon and Miss S. Arabella Cryder, of this place.  Mr. 
Cryder after attaining manhood devoted the greater portion of his time 
to teaching, in which he was very successful.  He also filled many 
prominent positions politically in the several townships in which he 
resided with honor, fidelity and to his credit.  In politics he was a 
republican, in religion a Christian and in membership a Baptist, of 
which he was a deacon and clerk of the sessions of the church in this 
town.  He was active in religious affairs in the village in which he 
resided - maintaining a Sunday school and assisting largely in keeping 
up other church services.  The remains will be brought to the Baptist 
church on Logan street in this place, where services will be held on 
Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, to be conducted by his pastor, Rev. C. 
H. Fitzwilliam.  Interment thereafter in Tyrone cemetery.
