Death of Joseph L. Yon.

  An occasional correspondent writing from Duncansville says: The sad 
intelligence of the death of Joseph L. Yon, on Friday, the 20th inst., 
of typhoid fever, was a complete shock to the entire community, as it 
was so unexpected.  Deceased was aged 37 years and leaves a wife and 
one son.  His parents are living and he also leaves three sisters and 
two brothers.  These are: Mrs. Susan Balt, Mrs. Sarah Hoover, Mrs. 
Clara Cochran and Messrs. William and Henry Yon.  All these relatives 
reside in Duncansville.  Mr. Yon had been a barber for years, was of a 
kind and genial disposition and respected by all.  The funeral took 
place Sunday afternoon.  Services were held in the Lutheran church and 
were conducted by his pastor, Rev. Isaac Kreider.  The interment was 
made in Carson Valley cemetery.
