A Sudden Death.

  William H. Himmelright, in the 78th year of his age, died suddenly on 
Friday last at his home, Wild Spring, Cambria county, which is situated 
about two miles from Loretto.  Mr. Himmelright had not been in good 
health for some time past, yet his condition was not considered 
serious.  On the evening in question he came to his residence for the 
purpose of taking some medicine.  A member of his family proceeded to 
prepare it for him, but in the meantime he had been taken suddenly ill, 
and, falling to the floor, expired.  He was a man much respected in the 
community in which he resided; the owner of a large saw mill, store and 
hotel at Wild Spring.  He was also postmaster at the same place.  Born 
in Bucks county he had been a resident of the place in which he died 
for the past twenty-two years.  The funeral services will be held this 
morning at 8 o'clock, after which the body will be taken to Bucks 
county for interment.
