RECORD OF DEATHS.
Ex-Councilman Philip Kimmel Dies at His Home in Westmont.

At his home, 2928 West Pine avenue, yesterday evening, Mr. Philip
Kimmel died of inflammation of the bowels.  He had not been in good
health for some days.  Mr. Kimmel was the son of Philip and Caroline
Kimmel, both of whom are deceased, and was born in Baltimore, Md.,
September 14, 1852.  When nine months old he was brought to Altoona by
his parents and had resided here ever since.  He was a tinner by
occupation and carried on a business at 609 Fourteenth street.  He was
a member of common council during the terms of 1887-8 and 1892-3.  He

with regret.  Twenty-six years ago he was married to Miss Lena Miller,
of Aetna, Allegheny county. His wife survives him as do these
children: Philip, Edward, Nellie, William, John, Clementine, Victor
and Margaret.  He also leaves these brothers and sisters:  Joseph,
