ALEXANDER SCOTT McFARLANE
Died This Morning in the Altoona Hospital.

  Alexander Scott McFarlane died June 13 at 8.30 o'clock in the Altoona 
hospital of a complication of diseases.  Two months ago Mr. McFarlane 
fell and broke his limb.  His sister, Mrs. Aiken, where he made his 
home, was in bad health, and the fiends thought it best to take him to 
the hospital.  He seemed to be getting along splendidly, when he caught 
cold and pneumonia set in, developing into a complication of diseases 
from which he passed peacefully away at the above mentioned time.  
  Alexander Scott McFarlane was a son of the late William and Mary 
McFarlane, and was born near Grazierville about 73 years ago, and has 
always resided in this vicinity.  A good portion of his life was spent 
in Sinking Valley where he followed the occupation of a farmer.  The 
following brothers and sisters survive to mourn his death: Archie, of 
Altoona; David, of Coalport; Mrs. Christ Buck, of Tyrone; Mrs. Sarah 
Stine, of Altoona; Mrs. George Aikens, of Fuoss Mills; and Mrs. Mary 
Brown, of Mountaindale.  
  The funeral occurred on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.  Services 
will be conducted at the Aiken home at Fuoss Mills.  Interment in the 
Tipton Cemetery.
