Death of a Respected Citizen.

After an illness from kidney troubles covering a period of seven
years, Mr. Jesse Howarth, a highly respected citizen of Altoona, died
at his residence, No. 510 Sixteenth street, on Saturday morning, aged
64 years.  Although he had been ill for such a long period, he was
able until about one year ago to work at his trade, that of a
machinist.  He had been in the employ of the Pennsylvania railroad
company for the past twenty-five years and had enjoyed the respect and
esteem, not only of his employers, but his shopmates as well.  He
leaves a wife and three children - William, Jesse and Harry - aged 20,
16 and 13 years respectively.  All three are children of his first
wife and the mother of Hugh and Joseph Butler, of this city.  Mr.
Howarth was a member of St. Luke's Protestant Episcopal church, and
also a member of the order of Knights of St. George.
