  Mr. Peter Flanagan, a respected citizen of Carroll township, died at 
his residence on Friday, at the advanced age of 96.
  Mr. Joseph Tierney died at his residence in Cambria township the same 
day (Friday) at the old age of 76 years.
  These men both belonged to the class of pioneers who pitched their 
tents in Cambria county when it was a howling wilderness and 
notwithstanding difficulties and dangers, hewed out homes for 
themselves and families.  Our first settlers are passing away.
