FORMER RESIDENT DIES AT HOME IN WILMERDING

  Harris and Allen Shoenfelt of Roaring Spring have returned from 
Wilmerding where they attended the funeral of their brother Adam 
Shoenfelt, former resident of Blair county. Mr. Shoenfelt's death was 
very sudden although he had been in poor health for some time.
  Arriving at his home in Wilmerding from Blair county where he had 
spent some weeks with relatives, Mr. Shoenfelt was fatally stricken 
with hemorrhages and passed away within an hour. The remains were 
interred in Ledding cemetery, Wilmerding, and next spring will likely 
be removed to Fairview at East Sharpsburg. The deceased was aged 51 
years and was born in Blair county, being a son of George M. and 
Christiana Shoenfelt, deceased. He resided in Blair county practically 
all his life until about five years ago when he located at Wilmerding 
and engaged in the restaurant business.
  He was very successful, but poor health forced him to retire early in 
the current year. In addition to his widow he is survived by six 
brothers, Harris and Allen, of Roaring Spring; J. Blair of California; 
George B., of Oklahoma; Daniel and Edward, both of Altoona; and two 
sisters, Mrs. Jacob Snowberger of Catfish and Mrs. Thomas Myers of 
Woodbury. He was a member of the River Brethren church of Wilmerding. 
In addition to the Roaring Spring brothers, other relatives from this 
section attended the funeral.
