FOUR DEATHS.
Old Citizens Who Have Been Called from the Troubles and Care of This
Life.

Henry Wirrbaugh, aged 74 years, 8 months and 16 days, died at his
residence in Logan township, a short distance below the city on
Saturday morning last at 11 o'clock.  The deceased came to Blair
county twenty-eight years ago.  He has since resided at the old
homestead, and there followed his occupation, that of a farmer, until
he became too old to longer perform the labors incident to that life,
and a year or more ago suffered a stroke of paralysis.  Levi, Lewis
and Jacob and two daughters survive him.  The sons and the daughter
Tillie reside in Logan township, and the other daughter is the wife of
Mr. John Hess of this city.  One son, Henry, was a soldier in the late
war, and was killed at the battle of Port Royal, South Carolina.  Mr.
Wirrbaugh, by thrift secured a good share of this world's wealth, and
was a quiet and useful citizen.  His funeral occurred on Sunday
afternoon at 4 o'clock from his late residence.  The religious
services were conducted by Mr. John Brallier, a member of the Dunkard
church. Interment in Oak Ridge cemetery.
