Samuel T. Moffitt, one of the leading citizens of the Twelfth ward and who for 
a number of years conducted a store at Broad avenue and Thirtieth Street, died 
at his home, 2824 West Chestnut avenue, this morning at 9 o'clock.  Death was 
due to a cerebral hemorrhage.  He was stricken yesterday afternoon about 2 
o'clock and did not regain consciousness.
Mr. Moffitt was born at Mooresville, Huntingdon county, Dec. 31, 1860, being 
the son of Jackson and Catherine Moffitt.  He was united in marriage with 
Clara Lindsay thirty-six years ago.  Sixteen years ago the couple came to 
Altoona, moving here from Arch Spring.  For the past fifteen years he 
conducted the store on Broad avenue.  He was a member of the Broad Avenue 
Presbyterian church.  He was a public spirited citizen and during the past 
year or two took an active part in war work in which the Twelfth ward was 
concerned.
His widow and three sons survive.  They are:  Herbert R., an assistant 
engineer in the state highway department located at DuBois; Earl L. of State 
College, connected with the bureau of farm extension of the college, and Dr. 
H. Fred, a first lieutenant in the United States medical service who is still 
in France.
These brothers and sisters also survive:  Harry B. Moffitt of Altoona, Calvin 
and Charles L. of Bellwood, Miss Mary W. Moffitt and Mrs. Joseph Gilliland of 
Petersburg.
The funeral will be Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock with services at his late 
home.
