JOSEPH S. FEATHER

Retired Pennsylvania Railroad company veteran and one of 
Hollidaysburg's foremost citizens and churchmen, died at his home, 526 
Pine street, this morning at 10 o'clock, death being attributed to 
complications. He had been in failing health for several years but had 
only been in a serious condition for six weeks. He was the son of 
Samuel and Mrs. Mary Feather, both deceased, and was born in Freedom 
township, Feb. 20, 1858, where he grew to manhood and where he attended 
the public schools and followed farming. He later secured employment 
with the Pennsylvania Railroad company and moved to Hollidaysburg, 
working there until he retired two years ago. Mr. Feather was 
prominently identified with the Church of God and was one of the 
organizers and a charter member of the Hollidaysburg congregation. He 
is survived by his wife, Mrs. Anna Shaffer Feather, and one son, 
Chester Feather, at home, and three daughters, Mrs. Mary Corbin, Mrs. 
John Casner and Mrs. Mark Vaughn, all of Hollidaysburg. He is also 
survived by two brothers, George Feather of Eldorado and Samuel Feather 
of Blandburg, and two sisters Mrs. Thomas Falkner and Mrs. John Stalker
