CHARLES N. PIMLOTT.
His Death at His Home in this City Last Night.

  At thirty-five minutes past 9 o'clock last night Charles N. Pimlott 
died at his residence, No. 1311 Twelfth avenue, after an illness from a 
complication of diseases, which extended over a period of several 
months.  Mr. Pimlott was one of Altoona's best citizens.  Genial in his 
manner he won the friendship and esteem of all with whom he came in 
contact.  His illness caused him much bodily suffering and it was of 
that deceptive character which led many of his friends to believe that 
he would recover.  On Thursday and Friday of last week he was able to 
sit up in bed and converse with members of his family.  On Saturday, 
however, he grew worse and lapsed into a state of unconsciousness, from 
which he could not be roused any length of time.  The end came 
peacefully and the spirit returned to its Maker.
  Mr. Pimlott was in the 53 year of his age and was for years a 
resident of Altoona.  He was a tinner by occupation and at it worked in 
the railroad company shops here.  About 1876 he was appointed foreman 
of the shop, a position he held at the time of his death.  He was 
greatly liked by the men under him, and they will learn with sadness of 
his demise.
  He was prominent in Masonic circles, being a member of Mountain lodge 
281, and also of Mountain commandery No. 10, Knights Templar.  He was a 
trustee when the Masonic Temple was erected, and no member took more 
interest or worked more energetically toward the successful erecting of 
the building than did he.  He was also a charter member of Mountain 
City lodge No. 837, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and was a past 
grand.
  In politics Mr. Pimlott was a democrat.  He served as a member of the 
Altoona school board on term some years ago.  He was also nominated in 
1890 for the same office but was defeated.
  His wife survives him, and with several children is left to mourn one 
who was always a loving husband and father.  Two sisters and one 
brother also survive.  The funeral arrangements have not yet been 
completed.
