HUGH McCANN.

  Hugh McCann, a prominent resident of Osceola, Clearfield county, and 
father of W. A. McCann, of 2610 Maple avenue, died at his home 
yesterday morning, following a stroke of paralysis.  He had been ill 
for the past five months.  Mr. McCann was born in Ireland 70 years ago 
but came to this country at an early age and had resided in Osceola for 
many years.  He was a splendid type of gentleman and possessed a great 
number of friends throughout this section of the state.  Surviving are 
the following children: W. A., Altoona; Charles, Philadelphia; Mannus, 
Patton; John, Latrobe; Edward, Joseph, Hubert and Katherine, at home, 
and Sisters Etheldreda and Camille, both sisters of St. Joseph at Erie, 
Pa.  One brother and two sisters also survive.  The funeral will be 
held with requiem mass at the Roman Catholic church of the Immaculate 
Conception, Osceola, at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, followed by 
interment at that place.
