Andrew J. Houseman,

An aged and respected citizen of this place, died at 9:20 last night, 
aged 54 years, 7 months and 2 days, at his home, 901 Seventeenth 
street.  Deceased was born in Sinking Valley, this county.  On the 16th 
day of January, 1866, he was united in marriage with Sarah A. Morgan.

at home, and Mrs. Edith Kemmler, also of this city - survive him.  The 
deceased was a soldier in the late war, having served in the Seventy-
sixth regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers.  His death was not unexpected,

pain of this long illness with Christian fortitude and patience.  He

Railroad Relief association.  The funeral will take place on Thursday
