Wed. 16 April 1879 issue. LYNCH or KIRBY - A little girl named Bridget Lynch or Kirby, residing in Millville, Cambria conty, recently came to her death in a rather singular manner. She was aged about thirteen years and had been left at home to take care of a babe while her mother had gone to Johnstown, near by, to make some purchases. When a younger sister returned from school at noon she found her sister upon the front steps, in a kneeling position with a clothes line wrapped tightly about her neck. She was quite dead. She had stretched the rope from the knob of the front door to a perch some four or five feet distant, and seems to have been swinging when she slipped and fell, and in some way the rope became wrapped about her neck in such a way she could not remove it. Wed. 16 April 1879 issue. LINGAFELT - A God Man Gone To Rest - On Friday evening April 11th, a few minutes before 10 o'clock, the spirit of John Lingafelt, Esq., left its house of clay and went to dwell in that land where there is no more sickness or suffering. The funeral services were held on Sunday afternon, 13th inst. At the house the funeral services were very brief, consisting of a short prayer by Rev. D. L. Ryder, pastor of the deceased. Then the Masonic fraternity, who had charge of the services, took the remains of their brother to the Lutheran church. Mr. Lingafelt was born April 15th, 1818, and would have been 61 years of age had he lived until today. He was, we believe, a native of this county, and spent his entire life at Canoe Creek, Duncansville, ( Frankstown perhaps) and Hollidaysburg, being chiefly engaged in the mercantile business.
