Friday, December 9, 1904 Volume XXXVIII, Number 48 James Monteith Mr. James Monteith, for many years a resident of Patton, died last Friday morning at his home on Lang Avenue. Mr. Monteith was born at Glasgow, Scotland, sixty-five years ago and for thirty-seven years has been a citizen of the United States. He first lived at Arnot, Tioga County, then at Houtzdale from which place he moved to Patton. While at Houtzdale he was thrown from a carriage and sustained a serious injury from which he never recovered and for a long time had been a confirmed invalid. His funeral took place Sunday from the Methodist church and the large congregation assembled attested the esteem in which he was held by his friends and neighbors. Rev. Swartz preached an appropriate sermon touching on the consistent Christian character of the deceased, after which the remains were taken to the Union cemetery for interment. Surviving Mr. Monteith are his wife and the following sons and daughters: Alexander, James, William, Robert, Clair, Andrew, Lizzie and Jessie of Patton and Mrs. Christina Brown, of Cresson.
