ADEN B. WERTZ
DIED SUDDENLY TODAY IN THE CLEARFIELD HOSPITAL

Aden B. Wertz, of West Fourteenth street, the well known Tyrone
division engineer, died very suddenly in the Clearfield hospital this
morning at 3:25 o'clock, following an operation. Mr. Wertz, while not
in the best of health for over a year, was as well as usual. Last week
he went to the Clearfield hospital for treatment and a minor
operation.

He was feeling fine yesterday and his family hoped to have him home in
a few days. Very suddenly after midnight he suffered a complete
collapse and his life slipped out.

Aden Blair Wertz was a son of the late Albert and Catherine Ritchey
Wertz. He was born on a farm near Frankstown, November 9, 1860 and
lived in that vicinity during his young manhood days, where he
attended the public schools and received a good education. He came to
Tyrone in 1889 and had been one of our most respected citizens ever
since. In 1890 he entered the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company and attained the position of an engineer. In all of his
associations he was held in high esteem by his fellow workmen and by
the officials of the company.

In 1882 at Hollidaysburg Aden B. Wertz and Miss Sarah Jane Delozier
were united in marriage by Rev. Dr. Ryder. Down through the years this
happy couple traveled until Mrs. Wertz was called home in October,
1923. These sons and daughters survive to mourn the death of a devoted
father: Ralph A; Lee E.; Harold; Mrs. James C. McConahy; Mrs. C. K.
Davis; Olive and Thelma, all of Tyrone; Mrs. B. D. McCallion and Anne,
of Denver, Colorado. These sisters and brother also survive: Mrs.
David Denlinger of Iowa; Mrs. William Vipond, Mrs. James Graham of
Sylvan Hills and Bert Wertz of Hollidaysburg.

Aden B. Wertz was a member of the Columbia Avenue Methodist Episcopal
church and of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and the P.R.R.
Relief association. He was a good man and lived a sincere christian
life in his home, church and the community, he will be missed and his
many friends regret very much to hear of his sudden passing away.

Funeral services will be announced in Wednesday's Herald.
