  William J. Mattern died at his home at Franklin, Venango county, 
Sunday afternoon, and was buried there on Tuesday.  He was the brother 
of the late George W. Mattern, of Franklinville.  His father was Jacob 
Mattern, and the family have been among the substantial citizens of 
Spruce Creek Valley for more than a century.  The wife of the deceased 
was Sarah Conrad, sister of W. Fisk Conrad, of Tyrone.  Mr. Mattern and 
wife attended the reunion of the Mattern family at Warriors Mark some 
time ago, and visited this vicinity once since that time.  He was a 
well-rounded business man and good citizen, and a churchman of 
sincerity and earnestness.
