HOENSTINE - At Claysburg, July 9th, 1878, Walter Clifton Hoenstine, son 
of S. E. and Mary Hoenstine, aged 5 years, 7 months and 18 days.  The 
subject of this obituary was in his early day dedicated to the Lord in 
the ordinance of baptism.  Death came to him early in life.  Physically 
prostrated by the ravages of diphtheria, after a short illness he 
calmly fell asleep in the hope of a blissful rest beyond the tomb.  He 
has left a very large circle of relatives to mourn their loss, but they 
"sorrow not as those who have to hope."  On the day following his body  
followed, by a large concourse of relatives and friends, to his last 
resting place.

Democratic Standard, Hollidaysburg, Pa., Wednesday, August 7, 1878
