He was an old employee of the wheel foundry where he worked until about three months ago, when failing health obliged him to quit work. He was greatly respected by all his acquaintances who will be sorry to hear of his death, of which dropsy was the cause. He was a member of the relief fund since it started in this city. No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral. Altoona Mirror, Altoona, Pa., Wednesday Evening, April 12, 1893
