Death of Jacob O. Forsythe.

  Another well known citizen of Altoona has been called away and the 
many friends and acquaintances of Jacob O. Forsythe will be shocked to 
hear of his demise, which occurred at half past 7 o'clock last evening 
at his residence, No. 1219 Sixth avenue, from pneumonia, superinduced 
by la grippe, from which he had partially recovered.  He has been a 
resident here for about twenty-five years and for many years has 
carried on his business as shoemaker on Twelfth street, between Seventh 
and Eighth avenues.  He leaves a wife, Mrs. Lizzie Forsythe, a daughter 
of the late Reuben Lewis, esq., but no children.  Deceased was born 
below Lewistown, Mifflin county, and was 46 years old.  Three sisters 
survive him.  On account of the serious illness of his wife the funeral 
arrangements cannot be announced until to-morrow.
