CHARLES A. STUDY.
In the Prime of Young Manhood He is Summoned by Death.

  Charles A. Study, after an illness extending over about three weeks, 
died at 10:50 o'clock Monday night at his home, corner of Ridge and 
Cameron streets, the cause of demise being pulmonary hemorrhages.  Mr. 
Study had had slight attacks of the same nature in the past three 
years, and about five weeks ago occurred the last hemorrhage before the 
illness which has terminated fatally.  Three weeks ago he was seized 
with severe hemorrhages and thereafter was confined to his bed.  The 
dangerous nature of the illness was at once apparent and at no time did 
he recover sufficiently to give strong hope that he would be spared.  
All that tenderest care of physicians and friends could accomplish was 
done.  Solicitous inquiries as to his progress were on the lips of 
every one and the community shares in the sorrow which overwhelms the 
hitherto happy home.  Monday night, weakened by the valiant and patient 
struggle against the inevitable, he passed peacefully away.
  Charles Adolphus Study was the son and youngest child of E. L. and 
Carolina G. Study, both deceased, who were among the first residents of 
this town.  He was born here May 11, 1859, his age at death being 
thirty-two years, three months and six days.  All his life had been 
spent in Tyrone as a resident.  His early education was gained in the 
Tyrone public schools, after which he attended Dickinson Seminary at 
Williamsport, where he remained two years.  With a view to entering the 
banking business he next pursued a thorough business course of six 
months at Poughkeepsie, New York.  Returning to Tyrone, he then entered 
the Blair County Bank as clerk, soon thereafter becoming book-keeper of 
that institution, and he held this position until his last illness.
  On Sept. 21, 1882, at the home of the bride's parents at Rome, 
Bradford county, Pa., Mr. Study was united in marriage to Miss Minnie 
Helen Whitney, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Whitney, by Rev. Mr. 
Cornell, of Athens, Pa.  To this union were born four children, who 
with the bereaved wife have lost him in whom they had so lovingly 
placed their trust.  The children are, Andrew Jackson, aged eight; 
Adolphus Laporte, aged seven; Olive Georgiana, aged four; and Mary 
Marguerite, aged one year.  Surviving him also are two brothers and 
three sisters, Mrs. P. A. Reed, Mrs. H. L. Africa, James A. Study, and 
W. L. Study, of Tyrone; and Mrs. H. J. Cornman, of Altoona.
  Besides his position in the Blair County Bank, Mr. Study had other 
important interests.  He was Secretary and Treasurer of the Juniata 
Mining and Manufacturing Company.  With his brother he was interested 
in the mercantile firm of Jas. A. Study & Co., at Shoenberger Mines.  
He was insurance inspector for this place, by appointment from the 
several companies represented here, and he also held the local agency 
for the White Anchor and Star lines of ocean steamships.  He was a 
member of the board of deacons for the First Presbyterian church and 
was for several years treasurer of the board, giving up that place 
recently on account of lack of time to attend to its important duties.  
He was also a trustee of the E. L. Study estate.
  The deceased had been for years an active member of the First 
Presbyterian church in whose councils his aid was valued.  He was also 
a member of Tyrone Lodge No. 494, Free and Accepted Masons; Tyrone 
Castle No. 79, Knights of the Golden Eagle; and Tyrone Council No. 943, 
Royal Arcanum.  Always a staunch Republican and ever willing to 
contribute in any honorable way to the success of his party, he 
cherished no personal political ambition and was a Republican only from 
the love of principle.  The only public office which he had held was 
that of Borough Auditor in which capacity he was continued by the 
people for several years.
   Charles A. Study was one of the most highly esteemed young men that 
ever held citizenship in this town.  Without courting extensive 
acquaintanceship, he was well known to almost everybody in Tyrone, and 
the admirable qualities which he possessed in so rich degree, revealed 
a character that could command only the warmest regard and respect.  He 
was generous of heart and genial in nature, one whose friendship was 
valued by all who held it.  During his last trying illness, the 
patience with which he endured his suffering was remarkable.  With 
utmost confidence in the care and skill of those who ministered so 
faithfully to his very want, he demonstrated a disposition that showed 
his appreciation of the efforts put forth in his behalf, and calmly 
bore his lot.  His good qualities shone best where he was known best, 
at home.  Ever after his marriage he was very domestic in his habits, 
caring little for outside amusement, and securing the truest happiness 
from remaining with his wife and children.  For years his time has been 
divided closely between his work and his family.  To those sorrowing 
ones the loss comes as a severely keen blow the sadness of which no 
mere words can allay.  The community admired and esteemed him who has 
been taken from them; our people unite as well in their sympathy for 
those so sadly bereaved.
   The funeral services at the late home of the deceased will be 
conducted by Rev. J. R. Davies on Thursday afternoon at five o'clock.  
The burial will take place with Masonic ceremonies.  Interment in 
Tyrone cemetery.
