T. K. Van Dyke, Local Attorney, Dies at 51

  Thomas Kittera Van Dyke, 51 years old, of 228 Boas street, this city, 
died from an attack of the heart yesterday morning in the Harrisburg 
Hospital, after about five years of suffering from heart trouble.
  Friday afternoon Mr. Van Dyke was ordered to his bed by Dr. Jesse 
Lenker because the former complained of pains near the heart.  Failing 
to comply with Dr. Lenker's orders, Mr. Van Dyke was taken to the 
Harrisburg Hospital on Saturday.  Early yesterday morning he was 
greatly improved but a little later he suddenly succumbed.
  Mr. Van Dyke was a native of Philadelphia and came to Harrisburg 
about thirty years ago.  He was an attorney-at-law and a prominent 
Democrat in this locality.  He was the organizer of the Harrisburg 
Democratic Association.  For many years he had been an active member of 
the Market Square Presbyterian Church.  He was a great admirer and 
personal friend of William Jennings Bryan, whom he several times 
entertained here.
  Surviving Mr. Van Dyke is a sister, Mrs. Humes Hall, at whose home he 
resided.  Private funeral services will be held in Philadelphia 
tomorrow afternoon.
