REUBEN S. DELOZIER,

A lifelong resident of Blair county and one of Blair township's 
foremost citizens, died yesterday evening at 5 o'clock, at his home at 
Brooks Mills of cystitis, after an illness which extended over more 
than a year. Mr. Delozier was the youngest child of a family of twelve 
sons and two daughters, born to Daniel and Catharine Delozier, pioneer 
residents of Blair township, where the deceased was born May 28, 1849. 
Mr. Delozier grew to manhood on his father's farm and was married to 
Sara Smith on Dec. 21, 1873. He worked at the public works for some 
years and in later years managed a farm of which he was owner, and 
still later assisted his son in the conduct of the flouring mill near 
his home. He was active in public affairs and for many years served on 
the township school board and likewise held other minor township 
offices. He is survived by his wife and three sons - Howard, foreman of 
the car shops at Hollidaysburg, Henry H. and Abraham, all residing near 
the parental home. He is also survived by two brothers - Ephraim of 
near Roaring Spring and Samuel of Brooks Mills. He was a member and 
active worker in the Brethren church at Vicksburg. Private funeral 
services will be conducted at the late home Saturday forenoon at 10.30 
o'clock, followed by interment in the cemetery at Vicksburg. Friends 
are requested to omit flowers.
