LILLY MINER DIES OF HURTS HAD IN FALL

John G. Hassenpflug of Lilly, who suffered a slight injury to his 
head when he fell to the floor, just after arising from his bed two 
weeks ago Monday morning, died at the Altoona hospital at 2:20 o'clock 
yesterday afternoon, of meningitis, aged 38 years.

Mr. Hassenpflug, who was a miner, arose from his bed to dress for 
work, two weeks ago Monday morning, but as he stepped to the floor he 
fell over, striking his head on the floor.  A physician was called and 
after treating him for a week, ordered his removal to the Altoona 
hospital.

The man spent his entire life at Lilly, and besides his wife is

Juniata, William of Allentown, George, Adam and Charles of Lilly, Miss 
Kathrine of Philadelphia, Mrs. Adam Goepfert, Mrs. Elijah Felter of

of America.  The remains will be sent to Lilly this morning by Roher 
and Mauk, Juniata undertakers, and the funeral services will be held 
tomorrow afternoon.
