WILLIAM M. DEFIBAUGH.

  William M. Defibaugh died suddenly yesterday morning at 1:30 o'clock at
the home of his son, M. B. Defibaugh, of Juniata Gap, of heart failure. 
He was born on August 8, 1847, in Wolesburg, Bedford county, and resided
in Altoona for thirty-five years, living latterly at the home of his son
at Juniata Gap. He was a paper hanger and painter by trade and up until
late years had followed this trade.  Surviving are his wife, two sons,
M. B. Defibaugh, of Juniata Gap, and A. R., of Salemsville; also one
sister, Mrs. Thomas Staley, of Everett, and one brother, Preston, of
Bedford, and another brother in the west.  He was a member of the Second
Lutheran church.  The funeral will be held from the residence of L. A.
Harvey, 508 Twenty-third street, owing to the illness of the daughter-
in-law of the deceased, at whose house he lived. The time for the
services will be 10 o'clock Monday morning, with interment in Rose Hill
cemetery.
