o'clock, at his home along the state road opposite Shawnee, after an illness 
of four years with tuberculosis.  He was a section laborer employed on the

Ernest, Lewis, Nannie and Dorothy, all at home, the oldest child being fifteen 
years old and employed at the Thompsontown Bros. knitting factory, Lewistown.

Mackneer of Morefield, W. Va., and Banks Mackneer of Lewistown Narrows, and a 
sister, Mrs. Charles (Mahalah) Hook of Lewistown Junction are also living.  He 
was a member of the P.R.R. Relief Association.  His funeral services will be 
held Thursday, 10:30 a.m., at his late residence, Rev. Chester B. Shank, 
pastor of Trinity Evangelical church in the Sixth ward officiating.  Interment
