Latrobe Bulletin Tue, Jul 08, 1913
Josiah Hunter, of No. 211 Irving Ave., fell headlong down the stairs at his
home, yesterday afternoon, breaking his neck and dying instantly. It is supposed
that he was seized with a spell of dizziness as be started to descend the
stairs, or else that he tripped and lost his balance. Members of the family
rushed to the hall when they heard him fall, and found his body lying at the
foot of the stairway, lifeless. They hurriedly sent for a physician, hoping that
he might be able to find a spark of life but the physician said that death had
been instant, the neck having been broken by the fall. Mr. Hunter was a native
of Cook township. He moved to Latrobe some years ago, together with his family.
He was aged 65 years, 2 months and 19 days. He is survived by a widow, by four
daughters: Mrs. H. L Noel, of Cook township; Mrs. S. M. Campbell, of Greensburg;
Miss Rose Hunter, of Youngstown, O.; and Miss Mary Hunter, at home; by five
sons: J. S., of Cook township; James, of Mt. Pleasant; Charles, Frank and Albert
Hunter, all of Latrobe; and by one brother, James Hunter. Funeral services will
be held at the family residence at 7:00 o'clock, tomorrow evening. On Thursday
morning, the remains will be taken to the Fairview church, in the Ligonier
Valley, where services will be held at 1:00 in the afternoon. The interment will
follow in the cemetery at the church. Mr. Hunter was well known iin Latrobe. He
had been living a retired life since coming to the town. He had a distinguished
air because of a long beard which he wore.
