TYRONE MAN EXPIRES AFTER WEEK'S ILLNESS

  A. Wallace Templeton, one of Tyrone's best known citizens and in the 
mercantile business there for more than sixty years, died yesterday afternoon 
at 2.15 o'clock at the Altoona hospital following an illness of one week, 
attributed to a complication of ailments.  
  Mr. Templeton was a son of John Kyle and Clara (Wallace) Templeton and was 
born at Spruce Creek on Nov. 11, 1867.  He was united in marriage with Annie 
J. Cree on March 19, 1895, in Tyrone, the late Rev. R. H. Gilbert, 
officiating.  
  Surviving are his wife and three sisters, Mrs. C. B. Wingate of Tyrone, Mrs. 
J. A. Paulhamus of Lilly and Mrs. Edith Rice of Haverford.  He was affiliated 
with the Presbyterian church since 1884, a former member of the board of 
trustees and a member of the building committee when the present edifice was 
erected.
  When but 14 years of age he entered the general store of Templeton & Crawford 
as a clerk and for sixty-three years was engaged in business in the same 
location.
  In 1907, the Templeton company was incorporated and A. Wallace Templeton 
became the head of the company, a post he filled up to the time of his death.
Mr. Templeton was strictly a business man.  Aside from his church and his 
business, he had no affiliations, but was a contributor to every worthy cause 
and was recently awarded a certificate of merit by the American Legion for his 
kindness twenty-five years ago when the Legion was first organized.
