NELSON TRYMAN,

A well known colored resident of Altoona and who, several years ago when the 
law requiring dogs within the city limits to be tagged was being enforced, 
had charge of the work of rounding up the untagged animals, died Saturday 
afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Altoona hospital.  Death was due to pneumonia 
and he was taken to the hospital Friday afternoon from his home at 2310 
Ninth avenue.  He was born in West Virginia on Jan. 1, 1871, dying on the 
50th anniversary of his birth.  He had resided in this city for many years, 
and following his service with the government, became janitor at the 
Blumenthal apartments.  He was a member of the First United Brethren church.  
He is survived by his wife, his mother, two sisters and a brother of 
Harrisburg, and a sister residing at Mt. Union.  Funeral services will be 
conducted at the Bell A. M. E. Zion church tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, 
followed by interment in Oak Ridge cemetery.
