JAMES A. GREENLEAF.

  James A. Greenleaf, of 814 1/2 Twelfth street, died from acute indigestion 
at his home yesterday morning at 3:15 o'clock, following his return from a 
visit to Huntingdon, where he attended a meeting Tuesday night.  He aroused 
his family several hours after getting to bed, but died before medical aid 
could be given.  He was general freight agent for the Huntingdon & Broad Top 
Mountain railroad, at Huntingdon, for forty years.  When the road was made a 
part of the Juniata division, federal railways system, Mr. Greenleaf was 
brought to this city and served as assistant in the local division freight 
agent's office.  He resided here for the last six months.  On February 19, 
1856, he was born at Portsmouth, N.H., and came to this state when quite 
young.  He wedded Miss Susan Jennie Hatfield, who survives with these 
children: Albert, Huntingdon; Fred, Bedford; Frank, Mrs. Myra Bergantz; Miss 
Mary Greenleaf and Mrs. Helen Hall, all of Huntingdon; William, Ruth and 
Grace Greenleaf, all of this city.  Eight grandchildren also survive.  He 
was a member of the Lutheran church, being treasurer of the St. James 
church, Huntingdon.  He was also a member of the Royal Arcanum lodge.  The 
body was taken to Huntingdon yesterday.  Funeral services will be held later 
this week at 704 Oneida street, the Greenleaf homestead.  Burial will take 
place at Huntingdon.
