Death of An Aged Man.

  Yesterday morning Henry Harbison, one of the most widely known and 
respected citizens of Woodberry, passed from this life to that beyond.  
For eighty-seven years he has traveled along the stormy path of life, 
sometimes in adversity and again in prosperity.  When a young man he 
emigrated to this country and in 1816 located in Blair county, where he 
has ever since resided.  Deceased leaves a wife and many descendants.  
His children are Mrs. A. B. Hoover, of Tyrone; Mrs. Kephart Hammond, of 
Woodberry, and Mrs. Frank Cassiday, of Newry.  An only son died about 
ten years since.  Mr. Harbison has been a leading and widely known 
citizen in the community, always ready to offer a kind word and extend 
the hand of sympathy in affliction.  His last years were years of 
peace, spent among his relatives, and with an abundance of means to 
gratify every wish.  The funeral, which will be a very large one, will 
take place to-morrow at 10 o'clock A.M.; interment in the Catholic 
cemetery.
