IN RIPE OLD AGE 
Augustus A. Hildebrand Dies at Home of His Son in Tyrone.

  Augustus A. Hildebrand, aged 78 years, died at the home of his son, 
John W. Hildenbrand, on West Fifteenth street at 2.15 o'clock Saturday 
afternoon, February 2, 1907, of nervous prostration. The aged 
gentleman, since the death of his wife seven years ago, had made his 
home with his children in Bellwood and Tyrone. Two weeks ago he came to 
his son's home here. He was ailing somewhat then, and the next day 
after his arrival he became seriously ill, his decline thereafter being 
rapid and resulting in his demise.  The fatal attack was attributed to 
the natural infirmities of his advanced age.  
  Augustus Alambert Hildebrand was born December 22, 1828, at Mapleton.  
In his boyhood his family removed to McConnelstown where he was united 
in marriage to Elizabeth Coder. The deceased was a carpenter by 
occupation, and after leaving McConnelstown, resided successively at 
Alexandria, Barree, Birmingham, Charlottesville, Tipton and Pinecroft, 
his wife having died at the last named place January 22, 1900.  
  Of their nine children, seven survive the death of their father. 
These are: Mrs. Kate Dickson, Elizabeth Furnace; Mrs. Emma VanScoyoc, 
Bellwood; John W., Mrs. Annie Davison, Robert, Tyrone; George, 
Bellwood; and Miss Bertha, Altoona.  The deceased leaves no brothers 
nor sisters. He was an exemplary citizen and a godly man, as well as a 
devoted husband and father. For fifty years, a member of the Methodist 
church, he lived in faithful accord with his Christian profession. 
  Rev. William R. Picken, pastor of the Columbia Avenue Methodist 
church, conducted the funeral services at the home of John W. 
Hildebrand, on West Fifteenth street, at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. 
Interment at Charlottsville cemetery.
