DEATH OF JERRY HAY
Father of Mrs. Frank K. Miller Died in the Altoona Hospital.

  At the Altoona hospital at 8.30 o'clock Saturday morning Jerry Hay, a 
well known resident of Bellwood, died of bronchial pneumonia.  Mr. Hay 
had been a sufferer for fully a year.  The amputation of a finger last 
January, caused blood poison, which undermined his strength and made 
him an easy pretty to the fatal disease.
  He was born in Paris, France, December 7, 1851, and was aged at death 
58 years and 24 days.  Thirty-six years ago he came to this country and 
for sixteen years his home was in Bellwood.  He was a bricklayer by 
trade and followed that occupation when in his usual health.  During 
his residence in Bellwood, he had won for himself many friends who 
mourn his death in the very prime of life.  Two daughters survive him, 
Mrs. Edwin Wiley, of Bellwood, and Mrs. Frank Miller, of Tyrone.  The 
funeral service will be held at 2.30 o'clock this afternoon, at the 
home of his daughter, Mrs. Wiley, on North First street.  It will be in 
charge of the local tent of the Knights of the Order of Tented 
Maccabees of which Mr. Hay was a charter member and also the first 
commander.  Interment in Logan Valley cemetery.
