Fell Dead at Supper Table 

Henry Behe, aged seventy-two years, died suddenly of paralysis at the home 
of his daughter, Mrs. Rahner in Allegheny Township, this county, Saturday 
evening.  He had eaten a hearty supper and was just getting up from the 
table when he fell over on the floor.  Relatives started at once for a physician 
but before he arrived, Mr. Behe passed away.

He was a native of Allegheny Township.  His wife, whose maiden name was 
Catherine McConnell, died two years ago.  He is survived by two sons living 
in Altoona and five daughters residing in Cambria County.  The Rev. Father 
Ferdinand Kittell conducted the funeral services at St. Michael's Catholic 
Church at Loretto at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning.  The remains were laid to 
rest in the church cemetery.

Henry Behe 

Information received from relations of the deceased tells of the peaceful 
death of Henry Behe, an old and respected citizen of Allegheny township.  
The old gentleman had not been feeling well for some time but was around 
the house apparently quite well during the day on which his death occurred.  
When he arose from the supper table that evening the deceased got his pipe, 
sat down in an easy chair and in two minutes breathed his last.  Mr. Behe 
was aged 74 years, 7 months and 11 days. The deceased leaves the 
following children to mourn his death:  Charles of Altoona; Luke of 
Carrolltown; Annie of Nantyglo; Clara of Gallitzin; Katie of Nantyglo; Mary of 
Allegheny township; Alice at home.  After high mass the remains were laid to 
rest in St. Michael's cemetery at Loretto.  Mr. Behe was a devout Roman 
Catholic.

  Oh, could we find sorrow that's keener than this
  In all of the world so wide,
  When a father so gentle, so loving and kind
  Was suddenly called from our side.

  Dear God, in His wisdom, has called him away
  From the cares of this world so wildt
  But the cords of love, they are hard to break
  That bind the father and child.
  
  Tenderly, now, let us lay him to rest
  In the grave where no cares ever come
  Hoping sweet rest may be granted to him
  In the light of his heavenly home.
