several years he was an active and faithful carrier of the Tyrone Daily 
Herald force.  He is survived by both parents and two half sisters, 
Mrs. Mary Mozart, of Charleston, South Carolina, and Miss Said Henchey, 
of Sandy Ridge, Centre county, both of whom were present during the 
last days of his illness.  Funeral services will be held in the First 
Methodist Episcopal church to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, to be
