ISAAC M. [sic] EABY IS DEAD AT ALLENTOWN
Former Deputy Sheriff and Police Lieutenant Dies of Apoplexy

  Isaac N. Eaby, one of this city's well known residents and known 
throughout Blair county, died at the Allentown hospital yesterday 
afternoon of apoplexy with which he had been stricken several days ago.  
The news was received in the city last evening by relatives and will be 
learned with a feeling of sincere regret by his extensive circle of 
friends.
  Mr. Eaby had been in failing health for a period of a year or more 
and had been admitted to the hospital to undergo treatment in the hope 
that his health might be benefited.
  He was born at Compassville, Pa., on June 13, 1852, and was the son 
of George S. and Elizabeth Eaby, both deceased.  He came to Altoona 
with his parents early in life.  His father established himself in the 
tinning business on Eighth avenue and later engaged in the furnace 
business.  The son for a number of years was associated with him until 
he was appointed deputy sheriff by the late Sheriff G. Thomas Bell.  He 
served as a deputy during two of Mr. Bell's three terms in office.  
During Mayor Hoyer's last term in office he served as lieutenant of 
police, a position that he capably filled.  On his retirement from that 
position he became one of the city assessors, retiring with the 
inauguration of the commission form of government.  Since then he had 
lived a retired life.  He was a prominent member of Altoona lodge No. 
102, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.  He was never married and 
is survived by two sisters, Mrs. S. M. Sellers, of this city, and Mrs. 
William Martin, of West Chester.  The remains will be brought to this 
city, the funeral arrangements to be announced later.
