PROPRIETOR DIES AT TYRONE HOTEL

  J. Leonard Troutwine, proprietor of the Pennsylvania hotel on Pennsylvania 
avenue, Tyrone, for many years and one of Tyrone's foremost citizens, died this 
morning at 5.30 o'clock at his home in the hotel, death being attributed to 
bronchitis.  He was stricken one week ago.
  Mr. Troutwine was a native of Tyrone and was born on Oct. 28, 1861, the son 
of George and Catherine Ehman Troutwine and was associated with the hotel 
business all his life.
  He was united in marriage with Miss Frances Grove in Huntingdon in 1888, who 
survives.  One son, Attorney Frank Troutwine, died twelve years ago.  Surviving 
are three grandchildren reared in the home, Patricia, Christine and Franky 
Troutwine, all of Tyrone, and two brothers, John and William, both of Tyrone, 
and one sister, Mrs. Harry H. Gardner, also of Tyrone.
  Mr. Troutwine was a member of the old German Lutheran church but more 
recently of the Trinity Episcopal church.  He was a member of Tyrone's old Hook 
and Ladder fire company, the Hotelmen's association, the Knights of Pythias in 
Altoona, the Junior Order United American Mechanics and the Elks lodge in 
Tyrone.
  Friends are being received in the parlors of the Pennsylvania hotel in Tyrone 
after 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon.
