TYRONE TOPICS.

  Samuel N. Patterson, of Spruce Creek, died suddenly Sunday morning at 
10.20 o'clock.  He was on his way to morning services in the United 
Brethren church at Spruce Creek, and just as he was in the act of 
entering the church door he began sinking and was caught in the arms of 
George Updike, who was near him.  He expired instantly.  The supposed 
cause is heart trouble.  The deceased was aged 70 years, 11 months and 
2 days.  He was a veteran and pensioned soldier of the civil war and 
served his country faithfully as a member of company D, Forty-ninth 
Pennsylvania infantry volunteers.  For upwards of thirty years he has 
been in the employ of the Pennsylvania railroad and a member of the 
Relief department.  He was a consistent and active member of the United 
Brethren church for the past forty years, many of which he served as a 
class leader.  He is survived by the aged partner of his joys and 
sorrows, Mrs. Sarah Jane Patterson, of Spruce Creek, and one son and 
two daughters, viz: Alfred Patterson, of Huntingdon; Mrs. Annie Demuth, 
of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Emma Kanour, of Tyrone.  The following 
brothers and sisters also survive, viz: John N. Patterson, of 
Johnstown, Pa.; Stephen Patterson, of Shoenberger Mines, Huntingdon 
county; Mrs. Sophia Lego and Mrs. Susan Johnson, of Harrisburg, Pa., 
and Miss Hester Patterson, of Kittanning Point, Blair county,  Funeral 
services will be held in the United Brethren church at Spruce Creek to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock, to be conducted by his pastor, after 
which the remains will be conveyed to Franklinville, Huntingdon county, 
for interment in the cemetery at that place.
