FOUND DEAD THIS MORNING
George Rogers, a Prominent Citizen of Bellefonte,

  Was found dead in bed this morning by his daughter, Mrs. Rowan, at 
her home in Juniata.  Mr. Rodgers had been to Pittsburg looking up some 
business interests, and on his way home stopped in this city to visit 
his daughter.  Before retiring last night he complained of a pain in 
his breast.  This morning he was found dead.
  Coroner Poet was notified and went to the house, but as Dr. Frazee, 
of Juniata, pronounced the cause of death neuralgia of the heart and 
there was every reason to believe such to be the case, an inquest was 
deemed unnecessary.  Undertaker Lafferty will prepare the remains for 
burial, after which they will be sent to Bellefonte.
  Deceased was of quite an inventive turn, and was the holder of 
several patents and was at the time of his death at work on an 
invention for heating cars.  He was 57 years of age and leaves a wife 
and four children.
  The remains will be taken to Bellefonte on mail east tomorrow 
afternoon at 2 o'clock, where interment will be made.
