  Franklin D. Rutter, of Altoona, a former resident of Huntingdon, was 
killed by the cars on the Pittsburg division on Sunday night.  Mr. 
Rutter was a brakeman on the Pennsylvania Railroad, and met his death 
while attending to the shifting of cars.  He was born in this country 
February 28, 1839.  Shortly after his marriage, which occurred in 1861, 
he enlisted in a home regiment, and his reputation as a soldier for 
intrepid bravery and daring was widespread. About ten years ago he 
removed to Altoona, where he leaves a wife and eight children.  He was 
distinguished as a man of sterling character, and his unfortunate death 
is widely mourned.
