His remains were taken to the home of a sister, Mrs. Ella EDWARDS, South Side Pittsburg, and the interment was made in that city on Thursday. Young HUGHEY, who was a member of the Ferguson Hose Company, fought valiantly with the other members of the department in putting out the fire. He was so interested in his work that he did not realize that he was completely water soaked, and the day after the fire, although suffering from a severe cold, he continued at his work, he being an employee of the Warner Glass Company. On Wednesday of last week he took his bed, dying Monday. Two sisters and a brother survive. He was a member of Natchez Tribe, independent Order of Red Men. Rev. W. D. IRONS, D.

They have resided at Sturgeon the past nineteen years, moving there from Noblestown. Mrs. VANNARSCOTT was well known and highly respected. About five years ago, while cleaning house, she got too close to a gas fire and was burned. She never fully recovered from the effects of this accident. Friday night a week ago the VANNARSCOTT home was destroyed by fire and Mrs. VANNARSCOTT had to be carried out to safety. Her husband, a son, Harry, and a daughter, Mrs. Ellen LOUIS, wife of Leon LOUIS, all of Sturgeon, survive her. There are four grandchildren all boys. The funeral took place from the home of Leon LOUIS on Monday afternoon. Interment was made in Robinson's Run cemetery. At her home in Arabella street on Tuesday occurred the death of Miss Elizabeth COOK, one of the oldest residents of the town. She was aged 87 years and six months. She was the last of her family, her only relative in this country being a niece, Mrs. J. P. SCOTT of this place. Miss COOK was born at Reissing and moved to McDonald in 1882. She has since made her home here. The deceased had been a life-long member of Robinson's Run United Presbyterian Church and was one of the most respected residents of the town. The funeral services were held in Robinson's Run U. P. Church, Rev. J. W. ENGLISH, D. D., pastor, on Thursday afternoon. Interment was made in Robinson's Run cemetery. Miss Nannie TRIMMER, 52 years old, died Saturday morning, January 25, at 3 o'clock, of heart trouble. She had been ill for over a year. Her father, Thomas TRIMMER, and one brother, John, survive her.

The following is from the Fountain (Colo.) Herald of January 25, 1908: Monday afternoon while driving south with a friend, Capt. J. P. KLECKNER was taken suddenly ill. He was taken into the residence of R. E. LOVE. Growing worse, he expressed the belief that he would not survive the attack and asked that his wife be brought. Mrs. KLECKNER was sent for and reached him before he became unconscious, as did also Dr. WITTER, but he soon passed away. His affliction was valvular heart disease. He was buried in Fountain cemetery Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The funeral was very largely attended, the old soldiers of the vicinity attending in a body; the floral offerings were most abundant. John P. KLECKNER was born in Venango, Pennsylvania, May 5, 1840. His boy hood days were spent in and about his native town. At a very early age he became an assistant to his father in his lumber business and was found so trustworthy that at the early age of twelve he was placed in charge of a force of men and the product of their labors. Reaching his majority just as the Civil War broke out; he enlisted August 15, 1861, as a private in the 83d Pennsylvania Regiment. He served with great distinction through the entire war and won many honors for his bravery, rising step by step from the ranks until made captain of Company D, holding this position to the close of the war. Few soldiers had more thrilling experiences. He was in no less than twenty-six engagements, some of which were among the most important in the war, and in which occurred the greatest fatalities. Among these engagements were Second Battle of Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg. He was three times wounded, but each time rejoined his regiment as soon as able. He was a prisoner for four months in Libby prison. He fought under such generals as POPE, MCCLELLAND, MEAD and GRANT. Being mustered out of service at the close of the war he entered the oil business in his native state and continued in this business until overcome by ill health as a result of his army wounds. He came to Colorado in the fall of '05 and largely recovered his former health, but finally surrendered to the Reaper Death, January 20, 1908. Near the close of the war, he married Miss Sarah SHERROD, the companion of his joys and sorrows, of his prosperity and adversity, who witnessed his final departure. To them were born four children, three still living are Mrs. Wm. FORRINGER and Mrs. Herbert MORRIS of Pennsylvania, and Mrs. R. J. LINDSEY of Fountain, Colo. In his early manhood, Capt. KLECKNER joined the M. E. Church, being still a member of that church at his death. When the call came, he responded confidently, said all was well with him, bade adieu to his loved ones, and with a satisfied smile, passed beyond. Mrs. EGGLESTON, who was buried last Sabbath afternoon, was for the past few years almost stone blind==could scarcely distinguish night from day. Yet she did the most of her own work when able to be around. *McMinn column Mrs. CHARLETON died at her home in Moon township last Sabbath night at eleven o'clock.
