Flemon H. Trout.

  Flemon H. Trout, a prominent citizen of Altoona, died on Saturday.  
The deceased was a son of Joseph Trout and was born in Bedford county 
on July 2, 1837.  He was a resident of Altoona since 1861.  For many 
years he was an employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad company.  He 
entered its service as a fireman and for three years served in that 
capacity.  He was made an engineer and filled that position for twenty 
years, at the end of which time he was forced to resign, on account of 
his eyesight becoming impaired, and a year later he became practically 
blind, the optic nerves becoming paralyzed.  Since then he was unable 
to see.  Mr. Trout was married in Altoona on April 18, 1861, to Miss 
Sarah McMahon, who, with an adopted daughter, Mrs. W. H. Cover, and a 
brother, Joseph G. Trout, of Altoona, survives him.
