DEATH'S WORK.
AUGUSTINE FOGLE.

  At about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon the spirit of Augustine J. 
Fogle took its flight.  He had been sick for a long time, but although 
not unexpected his death will leave a great blank in his family and the 
community.  Mr. Fogle was one of the best-known and most respected 
citizens in Altoona, where he had spent nearly his entire life.  His 
parents being poor, he was thrown upon his own resources when a mere 
boy, and commenced life as a drive of a team between the ore mines a 
short distance east of this city and Allegheny furnace.  By the 
practice of care and economy he succeeded in amassing a comfortable 
competence, which he leaves to his surviving wife, son and daughter.  
His life was one that could be imitated with profit by the young, which 
is as fitting an epitaph as can be pronounced.  The deceased was aged 
about 47 years, and had for some time past resided on Eighth avenue 
near Twelfth street.  For a number of years and up to the time of his 
death he had been engaged in the stationery business, being the junior 
partner in the firm of O'Neil and Fogle.  Many years since he took as 
his life partner Margaret Sullivan, who survives him.  Mr. Fogle was a 
consistent and faithful member of St. John's Catholic Church.  The 
funeral will take place on Sunday, to leave the house at 2 o'clock and 
proceed to St. John's Church.
