The Funeral of the Late Daniel Thompson Largely Attended.

Regular Correspondent.
  On Thursday morning all that was mortal of the late Daniel Thompson 
was removed from his late home on North Bedford street to St. Patrick's 
church, were requiem high mass was celebrated, after which the body was 
laid to rest in St. Patrick's cemetery, in the presence of a large 
gathering of friends and neighbors, who had come from far and near to 
pay the last sad tribute of respect to their departed friend and 
neighbor.  Daniel Thompson was born on the old Thompson homestead, on 
Poplar run, on the 9th day of September, 1856.  With the exception of a 
few years spent in Huntingdon county, he was a resident here all his 
life.  Some five years ago he was stricken with a malady for which 
medicine science failed to produce a diagnosis.  He sufferings at times 
were intense.  The rugged health which marked his early and mature 
years had deserted him, yet with all he discharged all his personal and 
social obligations with a bright and cheerful spirit.  He was a life-
long member of St. Patrick's church, believing in its tenets and its 
teachings, from which he formed high ideals, and all his actions were 
loyal to them.  As husband, father, friend and neighbor, he wore the 
white feather of a blameless life, and to that inner circle of his 
home, of which he was the light and the center, he left a priceless 
legacy of a life of love and tenderness.
