GEORGE CANN.

George Cann, notice of whose serious illness at the 
Franklin Hospital was given in Wednesday morning, 
died at that Institution about 5 o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon.  Death was caused by typhoid fever.  
The deceased was born and reared in this city and 
learned his trade as machinist at the National Transit shops
here.  For a year or two he had been employed at his trade in 
Franklin.  He was a brother of John I. Cann, deceased, 
the first member of Company D, Sixteenth regiment, 
Pennsylvania Volunteers, to die after the Spanish-American 
War and in whose memory the Oil City camp of the Veterans of 
the Spanish-American War was named.  He is survived by his widow.  
The body was shipped to Oil City last evening.
