DEATH RECORD.

Mr. George A. Jacobs, of Hollidaysburg, died at 5:30 o'clock on
Saturday morning last, after an illness extending over a week, the
result of a severe cold contracted while attending to his usual
duties, on last Thursday a week.  The cold settled throughout his
system, and culminated in rheumatism of the throat.  Towards the last,
deceased complained of great pains in his breast and when the watchers
left his bedside on Saturday morning at 5 o'clock, his condition
seemed somewhat improved, but scarcely had they retired, when grim
death entered, and claimed its own.  Mr. Jacobs was one of the best
known citizens in Hollidaysburg, and at the time of his death was
about 75 years of age.  The funeral took place at 8 o'clock this
afternoon.  Interment in the Presbyterian cemetery at Hollidaysburg.
