Chief-Justice McCollum Dead

  Chief-Justice J. Brewster McCollum, of the Supreme Court of 
Pennsylvania, died at a late hour Saturday night at his home in 
Montrose, Susquehanna county, aged seventy-one years.  Death was caused 
by asthma, accentuated by the infirmities of age.  Judge McCollum was 
elected to the Supreme bench in 1888, and in 1900 succeeded to the 
Chief Justiceship.  His last appearance on the bench was one year ago, 
at Pittsburg when, after two days' effort to participate it the 
business of the court, he was compelled by growing weakness to desist.

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa., Friday, October 9, 1903
