WILLIAM GARTLAND.

  One of Taylor township's oldest and best known farmers, William
Gartland, died in his 84th year at his home in that township at 8:40
o'clock Thursday evening, after a lingering illness due to old age.
Mr. Gartland was born in Taylor township and spent his entire life
there.  His wife, who was Mill Ellen Bice, of Osterburg, preceded him
to the grave some years ago.
  Mr. Gartland was a progressive farmer and was always interested in the
welfare of the township.  He was a lifelong member of the Roman
Catholic church.  Surviving are three sons: Francis, George and Edward,
all of Taylor township; also two sisters, Mrs. Eli Mower, of Roaring
Spring, and Mrs. John Shaffer, of Altoona. 
  Funeral arrangements were not completed last evening and will be 
announced later.
