WILLIAM A. WINTER.

  William A. Winter, one of the city's well known citizens and for many years 
an inspector for the Pennsylvania Railroad company, died at the Mercy hospital 
at 10:45 o'clock last night of neuritis.  He had not enjoyed good health for 
the past two years but was able to continue his duties until two months ago, 
when his condition became worse.  On December 26 he slipped and fell on 
Eleventh avenue and the injuries sustained apparently aggravated his ailment.  
He grew worse and on Tuesday, December 31, he was removed to Mercy hospital, 
where he gradually grew worse until he passed away.  Deceased was the son of 
Stephen and Caroline Winter, deceased, and was born at Hollidaysburg on August 
16, 1857.  He came to this city when a young man with his parents and had 
since resided here.  For a number of years he resided at the Merchants' hotel 
and more recently at the St. Lawrence.  He was a member of the Altoona lodge 
of Elks and by those who shared his acquaintance was esteemed and respected.  
He is survived alone by one  brother, John H. Winter, the well known 
tobacconist at Eleventh avenue and Sixteenth street, and also president of the 
Blair County Game, Fish and Forestry association.  The funeral arrangements 
will be announced later.
