  Accident, Md., June 3 - While visiting at the Uniontown Hospital on Memorial

  Mr. Lininger was a private in Company K. Third Regiment, Potomac Home Brigade,

  The body was removed to Johnstown's mortuary chapel where it remained until

where services were conducted by Rev. E. A. Hodil, pastor of the Third 
Presbyterian Church of Uniontown.
