    1. [PABLAIR] DEATHS BLAIR CO, PA 1876
    2. Deaths from The Register, Hollidaysburg, Blair Co., PA. HILEMAN - Aug. 16th, 1876, at his parent's residence, near Frankstown, Pa., Andrew Hileman, in his 43rd year. Wed. 23 Aug. 1876 issue. BAIRD - SUDDEN DEATH - Aden B. Baird returned to Gaysport, on Friday the 11st inst., the 22d anniversary of his birth, from his position as a guard at the Centennial grounds in Philadelphia, in consequence of an attack of typhoid fever. It was not at first thought to be serious, but he grew worse and worse, and on Saturday night the 19th inst., he died, after the most careful attention by able physicians and the most careful watching of a mother, sisters and brothers, and friends. He was a robust young man, the picture of health, and gave promise of a long life of usefulness. He was a moral young man, a member of the Baptist Church, a member of the Judson Bible class, and an Odd Fellow, and was highly respected by all who knew him. The home of which he was the head, filling his father's place, will miss him; the Church and Sunday School, will miss him; and his brethren of the mystic rites, will miss him. He was young in years to be thus cut off- but death is no respecter of persons, age, rank or condition - and may we all so live that we may not be afraid to die. As Warden at the Jail, for a couple of years, as guard at the centennial grounds, and in the various other walks of life, he perforned his duty. His remains were interred at the Jackson graveyard in Gaysport, on Monday afternoon. They were followed by a large connexion, the Sunday School and Bible Class of which he was a member, and the Odd Fellows- who performed the last sad rites of sepulture. Rest in peace- and may the mother, sisters brothers, and friends, console themselves with the memory of his good actions- and that in a little while their spirits may join his in the abode of the blessed. Wed. 23 Aug. 1876 issue. SNYDER - On July 18th, 1876, at her residence, Dry Creek, Linn Co., Iowa, of consumption, Mrs. Esther B., wife of Rev. Thomas G. Snyder, aged forty nine years, eleven months and fifteen days. She was the youngest of the family of Henry and Nancy Stifler, whose deaths we recorded some years ago. Was born and raised near Frankstown. Some years after her marriage, in company with her husband and four children, she removed to Dry Creek. September last in company with her sister and brothers-in-law, she paid her last visit to her friends of this place. Four sisters and one brother met at their brother's, John H. Stifler. One sister was absent- or all the family might have been together. She was in delicate health for some years, and was confined to her bed ten days. She leaves a bereaved husband and eight children. Three children, three brothers, a sister, father and mother preceded her to the spirit land. Her remains were intered in the brethren's graveyard of which church she was a member for many years. Dear Mother thou hast gone to rest, Why should we weep for thee/ This world is but a wilderness To loathe for saints to be. Wed. 30 Aug. 1876 issue. This Centennial year brings sadness to many hearts, although it is joyous to others. In the short space of seven weeks our friend John H. Stifler, has been bereft of his mother-in-law, grand-daughter and youngest sister, whose death we record in this issue. Wed. 30 Aug. 1876 issue. M.S.
