John B. Dick Dies as Result of Injuries

John B. Dick, whose serious illness we noted last week, died at the 
Memorial Hospital, Johnstown, Friday, where he had been taken on account 
of injuries to his skull received in a fall from a load of hay on his farm 
near Vintondale.

John B. Dick was born in Indiana County July 23, 1868.  While still a 
child, his parents, Attorney and Mrs. T. W. Dick moved to Ebensburg where 
he was reared.  In 1898 he was married to Miss Laura Altemus and settled 
near Vintondale.  For a number of years he had been farming and running a 
milk dairy route into Vintondale.

The deceased was an earnest, upright young man who was noted for his 
steadiness and as a hard worker in whatever he engaged. He was one whom 
the community could ill afford to lose.  Some years ago he was united with 
the Presbyterian church here.

Surviving with the widow are four daughters:  Mary Elizabeth, Myrtle 
Blanche, Edna Gertrude and Flora May.  The parents also survive as do also 
the following brothers and sisters:  George of Hamilton, Montana; James of 
Portage; Carl of Ebensburg and Mrs. Madge Bowman of Blairsville 
Intersection.

The funeral was held at Ebensburg Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock with 
services in the Presbyterian Church by a choir composed of Messrs. E. H. 
Davis, Harvey Tibbott, John E. Evans and Rev. F. I. Sigmund.  A large 
gathering of friends attended the services.  Interment was made in Lloyd 
Cemetery.

The pall bearers were:  John E. Thomason, Edward Knee, Dr. Mark Creery, 
Leonard Jones and Philip Evans.
