MICHAEL G. POET

  Michael G. Poet, a former resident of Altoona, died at his home, 664 
North Union street, Philadelphia, on Friday morning, following a brief 
illness of pneumonia.  He was born at Tyrone, January 28, 1856, the son 
of Jacob and Frances Day Poet.  He had lived in Philadelphia for the 
past thirty years, going to that city from Altoona.  He was a painter 
by occupation.  His widow and two brothers survive, Thomas W. Poet, of 
this city, and John M., of Sunbury.  Michael Poet, the well known 
furniture dealer and Civil war veteran of this city, was a cousin of 
the deceased.  He was a member of the Baptist church and was affiliated 
with the Masonic lodge and the P.O.S. of A.  The body was brought to 
this city last evening and taken to the home of his brother, Thomas W., 
of 1507 Third avenue, where the funeral will be held at 2:30 o'clock
