JOSEPH WARNER IDDINGS,

Son of Henry and Elizabeth Iddings, deceased, died at his late home, at 
Second street, Bellwood, on Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, of heart 
trouble. He is survived by a wife and one son and daughter.  Two 
sisters, Mrs. Edward N. Root, of Bellwood, and Mrs. Benner W. 
Rumberger, of Nitany Valley, Centre county, also survive.  The deceased 
was raised in the faith of the Friends church, but for twenty-five 
years had been a faithful member of the Methodist church.  His life in 
Bellwood for the past ten years had been in perfect accord with this 
profession.  He was a loving husband, a kind and indulgent father, a 
good citizen and neighbor.  He had been in the employ of the P.R.R. for 
twelve years, ten having been in the freight office in Bellwood, where 
he was held in the highest esteem by all.  Two weeks ago he had a 
paralytic stroke, from which he rallied, and up until Thursday last he 
was at his post of duty, but on that day he was compelled to again take 
his bed.  The funeral services will be held at the house on Thursday 
evening at 6:30, in charge of Rev. S. D. Wilson.  On Wednesday morning 
the body will be taken to Unionville for interment.
