FARRELL.

  Francis Patrick Farrell, prominent in church work and as a member of 
the Altoona council of the Young Men's institute, died at 4 o'clock 
yesterday afternoon at the Altoona hospital of pneumonia, following the 
Spanish influenza, contracted on Oct. 5.  He was admitted to the 
institution on Thursday last.  He was born in Altoona on April 10, 
1885, the son of John and Martha Farrell, of 700 Eleventh street, and 
spent his entire life in this city.  He was a member of Our Lady of Mt. 
Carmel Catholic church, of the Y.M.I., the Third Order regulars and the 
Holy Name society.  He was employed, previous to his illness, in the 
store of his father.  Surviving are the parents and one brother, 
William, who was ordered overseas with the United States army from the 
Baltimore, Md. port yesterday.  News of the death was sent the soldier, 
and it is likely that he will be granted a furlough for the funeral.  
The funeral will be held on Thursday afternoon.  Interment will be made 
in Calvary cemetery.  Relatives and friends are asked to please omit 
flowers.
