Father and Two Sons Die; Wife Ill in Hospital

  John Siniso, of 326 Seventh avenue, was buried Saturday, death having 
resulted from pneumonia, following influenza, and yesterday two of his 
surviving sons, Joseph, aged 3, and Matthew, 5, died at the Altoona 
hospital of the same disease.  The wife and mother is confined to the 
Mercy hospital, as is a daughter of the dead man.  Another son is 
seriously ill with the disease.
  The one boy was discovered in his home Wednesday, alone, in a dying 
condition without food and with no medical aid.  He was then removed to 
the Altoona hospital, but his condition was such that medicine and 
careful nursing were of no avail.
  Joseph died at 4.20 o'clock yesterday morning, and Matthew died at 
3.10 yesterday afternoon.  The bodies were turned over to Hickey and 
O'Neil, and a double funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon.
  The mother does not know that her two boys are dead, physicians 
fearing that if she were told it might result in her death.  She does, 
however, know that her husband died.
