A Death on a Passenger Train.

Martin, the 14-month-old son of Ole Martison and wife, died Wednesday
on a Pennsylvania railroad train between Tyrone and this city.  The
body was brought to Altoona and placed in charge of Noel & Arthur,
county undertakers, and was buried in the grave-yard attached to the
almshouse Thursday.  The parents were on their way from Norway to
Indianapolis and were almost penniless.  They resumed their journey on
the 3.25 train.  Death was the result of pneumonia.
