O.

  Mr. George F. Winters, a former resident of Altoona, was killed in Dayton, 
O., Saturday evening.
  Relations of the deceased living here received the news yesterday morning

employed at the Barney & Smith car works, in Dayton, O., and it is believed 
that he was killed while at work.  Deceased was born in Altoona, March 26, 
1866, and resided here until a few years ago, when he went to Dayton.  One 
sister, Mrs. Eliza Higgins, and two brothers, John H. and William A., all of 
this city, survive.  He was a member of Winnebago tribe, Improved Order of 
Red Men, of Altoona.
  The brothers of the deceased left on St. Louis express last night and will 
bring the body to the city.  The remains will be taken to the undertaking 
house of Hickey & O'Neill, from which the funeral will take place tomorrow 
afternoon at 2.30 (?) o'clock.  Interment will be made in Fairview cemetery.
