Friday, June 12, 1903 Alex Ribblett, a former resident of Johnstown, aged about fifty years was so badly burned at Bolivar on Saturday evening that he died soon after being rescued without recovering consciousness. The deceased was a shoemaker and lived alone in a room in the back of his shop. It is supposed that an oil lamp exploded and set fire to his bed which was all ablaze when the fire was discovered by a passerby. The deceased was born in Conemaugh township, this county, where a step brother, John Ribblett, still resides.
