The Altoona Tribune. (Altoona, Pa.) February 7, 1861
Mr. Joseph Cunningham, a young student at Law in the office of Scott, Brown &
Corbin, died on Monday last from having swallowed a part of the “wish bone” of a
chicken, at the Warm Springs, on the Monday evening previous. He complained from the
moment he got it into his throat, but the Doctors would not believe it, until he
coughed it up on Sunday. Inflammation of the throat took place, and finally
mortification, and on Monday morning he breathed his last. The Doctors say he had
every symptom of pneumonia. He was kind, generous and was universally esteemed by
those who knew him. — Hunt. Globe
