JOHN WILLIAM BITTNER

  John William Bittner was found dead in his room at the Hostetler rooming 
house, formerly the Poorbaugh House, Friday noon.  As he had not gone to his 
evening meal the previous day, it was established by the attending physician and 
coroner that he died early Thursday evening.  Death was attributed to coronary 
obstruction.
  Mr. Bittner was about 72 years old.  He was born in Glencoe, the son of the 
late Benjamin and Delilah (Mull) Bittner.  His wife died some years ago.  He had 
been living at the Main Street rooming house for the past four or five years.
  He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Sadie Baker of Garrett, and Mrs. Ida 
Walters of Somerset.
  Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at one o'clock in the Konhaus 
Funeral Home, Rev. H. K. Hilner officiating.  Burial was made in the Stoystown 
Cemetery.
