From there he went to Houtzdale where he was one of the signers of the petition for the incorporation of the borough. He was the first burgess of the town. For a number of years he held a position in Washington under the government. He leaves a wife, two daughters, one son and a sister, Mrs. Mary Ray of Northside, Pittsburg. Frank P.
