WALTER MARTIN MOLLOY

Widely known barber in the Seventh ward and well known to many 
throughout the city as Diddy Molloy, died at 12:10 o'clock this morning 
at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Evelyn McClosky, 1813 Fourth street.  
He had been in ill health only a short time.  He was located for thirty 
two years at the barber shop at Chestnut avenue and Third street and 
was known to a big trade.  He was born in Altoona Mar. 5, 1880, a son 
of Charles and Ellen (Schmitt) Molloy.  He was the last of his 
immediate family.  He was married in Altoona on Dec. 17, 1902, to Miss 
Rachel Struble, Rev. Hough officiating.  Surviving are the widow and 
the daughter at whose home he died and one granddaughter, Patricia 
McClosky.  Mr. Molloy was a member of the Second Avenue United Brethren
