Death of William Lord 
Father of Mrs. Harvey Roland Expires of General Debility at Home of Son-
in-Law in Ebensburg

William Lord, aged eighty-three years, died Monday evening at the home of 
his son-in-law and daughter, Attorney and Mrs. Harvey Roland of Ebensburg, 
after a long illness of general debility. Services were held at the Roland 
residence Wednesday evening by the Rev. Mr. T. R. Taggart, pastor of the 
Ebensburg Presbyterian Church and the remains were taken to Coalport 
Thursday morning for interment.

The deceased was born near Pottsville, Schuylkill County, in September 
1827.  He was a son of Thomas Lord, a native of England, while his mother 
was born in Scotland.  They crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1819 and settled 
in Pennsylvania, where several of their children were born, among them the 
mother of the Rev. Dr. J. Q. A. Curry, pastor of the Fairfield Avenue 
United Evangelical Church, Johnstown.  She died in 1889.  William Lord is 
the last of the family to pass away.  Many years ago William Lord came to 
Clearfield County and engaged in business as a lumberman in Beccaria 
Township.  He had been making his home with the Roland family since 1900.

The deceased is survived by the following children:  Mrs. Harvey Roland of 
Ebensburg; John Lord of near Coalport; Mrs. Frank McCoy of Utahville; and 
Mrs. Samuel Boyce of Clearfield. The surviving grandchildren are Anthony 
Lord of Hastings and Mrs. Forest Lee of Irvona, Clearfield County.
