  Rev. Erias Unangat [sic], D.D., a retired Lutheran missionary, was 
found dead Monday evening sitting in an easy chair at the home of his 
son-in-law, W. I. Woodcock, Esq., at Hollidaysburg.  He was born in 
Easton, August 9, 1824, and was graduated from the Pennsylvania 
college, Gettysburg.  About 1855 he was united in marriage with Miss 
Pheobe A. Milliken, of Lewistown.  Rev. Dr. Unangst spent thirty-six 
years as a missionary at Guntar, India.  The death of his wife occurred 
at that place in 1896 and the year following he returned to this 
country and has since made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth 
Woodcock, who is the sole survivor.
