HARRY B. McCALEB

A former well known resident of Altoona and a locomotive engineer on 
the Pittsburgh division, died suddenly at his home in Homewood 
yesterday morning.  He was 64 years of age and had resided here until 
1920 when he transferred his residence to Homewood.  Mr. McCaleb made 
his usual run on Tuesday and that evening shook hands with George 
McConnell, a fellow engineer.  Wednesday night, he called William 
McConnell on the telephone and informed him he was quite ill.  While in 
Altoona Mr. McCaleb took an active interest in civic affairs, 
especially playground and swimming pool projects.  He had been in the 
Pennsylvania Railroad company's service for a number of years.  
Surviving are two sons, Kenneth and Vivian McCaleb.
