Newton T. Frantz         

  The sad intelligence reached Tyrone on Saturday, that Newton Frantz, 
son of Abram and Mary Frantz, of Twenty-first street, had been killed a 
mile west of Portage. For a number of years, Mr. Frantz had been 
employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad company in different departments 
of their work.  He was afterwards employed by the Westinghouse electric 
works at Pittsburgh and was recognized as a good workman.
  Newton T. Frantz, was born at Van Scoyoc October 22, 1881, and was 
therefore aged 27 years, 6 months and 18 days.  All his boyhood days 
were spent with his father on the farm near VanScoyoc; then the family 
moved to their present home on Twenty-first street.  In October, 1907, 
he was united in marriage to Miss Minnie Graham, of Turtle Creek. 
Surviving to mourn his death, are his wife and parents and the 
following brothers: Wilson, of Pittsburgh, and John of Tyrone.  Also, 
the following half brothers: J. C. and B. L., of Bald Eagle; Z. W., of 
Tyrone; Peter, of San Francisco, Cal.; and Walter Boyer, of 
Williamsport.
  Funeral services were held at the home of his parents Monday 
afternoon at 2.30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. C. O. Beery, of the 
Brethren church. Interment was made at Bald Eagle.
