Death of George W. Oatman, Esq.

  George W. Oatman, Esq., formerly Register and Recorder of Cambria 
county, died suddenly at Maul's hotel in Gallitzin, about 5 o'clock 
yesterday evening.  Mr. Oatman left his home in Ebensburg on Thursday 
in his usual health, and came to the latter place on business.  He took 
quite ill about 4 o'clock yesterday, but nothing serious was 
anticipated by him; he refused to have his wife sent for but in the 
brief space of an hour was a corpse.  Mr. Oatman was a clever 
gentleman, and was well-known in this section of the State.  For a 
number of years he was extensively engaged in the real estate business, 
but latterly in the practice of law.  He was between 40 and 45 years of 
age, and leaves to mourn their loss a wife and four children.  His 
remains were taken to Ebensburg last evening for interment.
