G. W. MOUNTZ

  At 3 o'clock Monday afternoon, George Washington Mountz, a life-long 
resident of Covedale, died at the county hospital of Bright's disease.  
Mr. Mountz had been in ill health for some time.  Six weeks ago he went 
to the home of his brother Reuben, of Duncansville, where he remained 
until a week ago, when his condition necessitated his removal to the 
hospital.  A son of Christian and Elizabeth Mountz, he was born at 
Covedale October 16, 1841.  He was not married.  Surviving are three 
brothers: John R., of Williamsburg; Reuben, of Duncansville; Henry, of 
Hollidaysburg.  The body was taken in charge by Funeral Director H. O. 
Snively, of Williamsburg, and was taken to the home of his brother John 
at Williamsburg.  From there the cortege will leave at 1:45 Wednesday 
afternoon for the Covedale Methodist Episcopal church, where services 
will be held.  Interment in the Schmucker cemetery.
