GEORGE W. MOREHEAD.

  George Washington Moorhead, employed by the Pennsy as a boss at the 
Seventh street stables and a resident of this city for over twenty-five 
years, died at the Altoona hospital last evening at 5:28 o'clock, from 
uremia.  He had been admitted to the institution yesterday at noon and 
sank steadily until the hour of his demise.  Born in Bedford county May 
5, 1861, he was the son of Matthew and Catherine Morehead, and for many 
years made his home at 308 Lexington avenue.  He came to Altoona 
twenty-five years ago, shortly after coming here accepting a position 
with the company as a general helper in the Fourth street shops.  Later 
he was made a stable boss, which position he held for a number of 
years.  He is survived by three brothers and two sisters, as follows: 
William Moorhead, of Galesburg, Ill.; Abraham, of Bedford county; J. 
S., of Altoona, and Mrs. Bell Weyandt, of Bedford county, and Mrs. Emma 
Walters, of Fort Clinton, O.  Deceased was a member of Trinity Reformed 
church and of the Pennsy Relief association.  The funeral arrangements 
are as yet unknown.
