Death of an Old Citizen.

  Moses Thompson, one of the oldest residents of Blair county, died at 
half-past 11 o'clock yesterday morning, at his home in Juniata gap, 
Logan township.  He was in the 80th year of his age, and by occupation 
was a farmer.  He was a member of the First Presbyterian church, having 
united with that congregation about the year 1857, during the pastorate 
of Rev. A. B. Clark.  His wife died about two years ago, and the 
children left to mourn his demise are Mrs. John Beck, of Altoona, and 
Samuel, Henry and Theodore Thompson.  He was a good citizen and a kind 
neighbor.  The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock 
from his late residence.
