  Robert Blair Tussey, son of John M. Tussey, of Sinking valley (we 
learn from a note received yesterday), died suddenly at the Arlington 
hotel, Hastings, Nebraska, Monday evening, November 17.  "Blair," as he 
was more familiarly known in this section, was born in Canoe valley 
shortly before his parents made their home in Sinking valley, in the 
spring of 1851.  After arriving at age he engaged in school teaching in 
the vicinity of Altoona, and during the year 1876 he emigrated to 
Lincoln, Nebraska, and shortly after to Hastings, where he has made his 
home ever since - first as a subordinate in the office of county clerk 
and for many years as county clerk, having been re-elected several 
succeeding terms, all of which offices he filled with great 
satisfaction to the general public, and with credit to himself.  
Besides his wife and aged parents he leaves to mourn their loss four 
brothers and one sister - J. Morrow and William M. Tussey and Mrs. 
Foster Crawford, of Sinking valley; Rollin Tussey, of Jersey City, and 
Stewart Tussey, of Lewisburg, Pa.
