    JOHN WOOD PLATT.- aged 64 years, of the firm of A. Platt 
& Brother, manufacturers of woolen goods at Manayunk, died 
yesterday morning at his home, Suinac street and Jeanette 
avenue, Wissahickon.
    Mr. Platt got on a train at Shurs Lane Station on Saturday, 
intending to go to Atlantic City, but was taken suddenly ill at 
Wissahickon. He was removed to his home in a carriage, and died 
from Neuralgia of the heart the next day.
   Mr. Platt was a native of England, and came to this country 
to settle at Chester in 1856. Ten years late he started in the 
manufacturing business with his brother at Manayunk, and 
continued in the same firm to the time of his death. He was one 
of the leading Members of the Wissahickon Methodist Church and 
contributed largely to the building fund.
