  Albert J. Mattern, a prominent and well known person in this and 
adjoining counties and a resident of Tyrone for the past twenty-eight 
years, died at his home, 241 East Tenth street, yesterday morning at 
10.40 o'clock, after an illness of two years' duration.  The past four 
months he was confined to his home, afflicted with a complication of 
diseases.  The deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Mattern and

December 11, 1842, and at death was aged 57 years, 2 months and 5 days.  
At Rock Springs, Centre county, February 9, 1871, he was united in 
marriage to Miss Annie M. Gardner.  He was a lifelong active and 
faithful member of the English Lutheran church, filling all the 
prominent official stations in the church and its auxiliary branches 
with an earnest devotion to his calling and duties as he understood 
them and to the satisfaction of his co-laborers.  Mr. Mattern had been 
until within three or four years ago, engaged in mercantile pursuits, 
after which until compelled by illness, to relinquish all efforts at 
business, he was prominently identified with accident insurance as a 
general agent.  He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Annie M. Mattern, and 
one daughter and two sons, viz.: Mrs. Mary Stine, wife of Dr. Thaddeus 
Stine, of Tyrone; Charles E. Mattern, a student at State College, and 
Guy Mattern, of Windber, Pa.  He is also survived by his aged father, 
George W. Mattern, and one brother, John Stewart Mattern, both of Seven 
Stars, Franklin township, Huntingdon county, and one sister, Mrs. 
Amanda Flenner, wife of Dr. W. H. Flenner, of Tyrone.  Funeral services 
will be held at his late home, 241 East Tenth street, Monday afternoon, 
February 19, at 2 o'clock, to be conducted by his pastor, Rev. F. L. 
Bergstresser, assisted by Rev. Albert J. Weisley.  Interment to follow
