  On Sunday morning at 2.10 o'clock the spirit life of Franklin 
Killinger passed into the great beyond.  Mr. Killinger has been quite 
ill the past month with dropsy and heart disease and was unable to 
combat with the complication on account of his advanced age and

Garland, and Mrs. Grant Briner, of Tyrone; William, of Minersville, and 
Joseph, of Jonesville.  His wife, Mrs. Susan Custaborder Killinger,
