MICHAEL STRAYER POTE,

Died at his home at Ore Hill last Friday evening at 10 o'clock, death 
coming rather suddenly, although he had been in failing health for some 
time, being a sufferer with cancer. He was a faithful member of the 
Church of the Brethren and is survived by his wife and two sons, Jesse 
and D. Earl, both of Potetown. One brother, William S. Pote of Altoona, 
also survives. He was the son of Michael and Elizabeth Pote and had 
resided in the vicinity of Ore Hill all his life. For some years he was 
employed by Peter S. Duncan at Ore Hill but more recently was engaged 
in farming. He was a kind husband and father and a good neighbor and 
his death caused much sorrow in the community where he lived all his 
life.
