JOHN McQUADE

  John McQuade, a well known, and industrious resident of Allegheny Township, 
died Monday night, June 30, at his home.  His death followed an illness of 
several months' duration due to various ailments.  Mr. McQuade had been a 
patient in the Windber Hospital for more than a month and was regaining his 
strength when a setback took place.  His condition was thought to be much 
improved last Sunday afternoon, and he was removed to his home.  Surviving are 
his widow and five children, Leon, Paul, Gilbert, Mary and Flora, all at home.
  The body was prepared for burial by Johnson & Son, funeral directors of 
Berlin.  Rev. C. P. Bastian was the officiating minister at the funeral on 
Thursday afternoon at Mt. Zion cemetery.  The Male Quartet of the Berlin 
Lutheran Church rendered several numbers.
  Mr. McQuade was a farmer by occupation, a law abiding, and industrious 
citizen.  He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church of Berlin and was 
superintendent of the Sunday School of the Mt. Zion Congregation in Allegheny 
Township.  At the age of 41, he had already done much work of great value to the 
community in which he lived and it was with the greatest of sadness that his 
friends learned of his premature death.  Robert McQuade, a brother of the 
deceased, was attending summer school at California State Teachers' College, and 
upon notification immediately returned to Berlin.  A sister of the late Mr. 
McQuade resides in Florida and was unable to come to the funeral.
