HOLLIDAYSBURG
W. H. ENGLE DIES SUDDENLY AT HOME
Stricken With Apoplexy After Eating Hearty Breakfast

  William Henry Engle, a well known resident of this section of the 
county and a veteran iron worker, dropped dead at his home on Brush 
mountain, Frankstown township, yesterday morning at 7.30 o'clock, his 
sudden demise being due to an attack of apoplexy.  He always enjoyed 
the best of health and was stricken with the dread disease, while 
apparently in good health.  He had arisen early as usual, and after 
partaking of a good breakfast, started to do some work about the house, 
when he suddenly dropped to the floor and was dead when the members of 
the family reached his side.
  Deceased was born in Hollidaysburg and at the time of death, was aged 
69 years, 4 months and 1 day.  He resided in the county all his 
lifetime, having been a resident of Brush mountain for a number of 
years, and had been employed in the local rolling mills until they 
ceased operation years ago.  He was a good husband and father and his 
kindly nature made him many friends, almost everyone around here 
knowing "Dad" Engle.
  He was a member of the Judson Bible class at the Baptist church.  
Besides his wife, who was formerly Jane Hazlett, of Hollidaysburg, he 
is survived by these children, James H., Mary E., Annie E., William G., 
all at home; also by one sister Mrs. Mary E. McDonald, of Chicago, Ill.  
The funeral services will be held at his late home on Saturday 
afternoon at 2.30 o'clock.  Interment will be made in the Presbyterian 
cemetery.
