Easly of Carrolltown, for many years a resident of Johnstown, and the third oldest member of the Cambria County Bar Association, died in a Pittsburg institution Monday afternoon, where he had been in failing health since Easter of last year. Death ended a long suffering of diseases incident to his advanced age of 71 years. Two of his children were on their way to the bedside of the sick man when the final summons came. Thirty or forty years ago there were few attorneys who were better known in this county than James C. Easly. He was a native of Johnstown, where he was reared to manhood and where he practiced law until about the time of the Johnstown flood. James C. Easly was educated in the public schools of Johnstown, studied law and was admitted to regular practice in the Cambria County courts in 1865. There were only two older members of the bar association in point of service, these being the Hon. W. Horace Rose of Johnstown and Frank A. Shoemaker of New Jersey. Attorney Easly practiced law in Johnstown until the time of the flood when the family moved to Carrolltown which has since been the Easly home. Mr. Easly was married to Josephine Scanlan, daughter of the late Squire Scanlan, one of the best known residents in Cambria County in his day. Mrs. Easly died at Carrolltown in 1905. The surviving children are: George Easly, a Johnstown letter carrier, who makes his home at 997 Franklin Street, Eighth ward; Sister Bernadine, mother superior at a convent at San Antonio, Fla.; Henry, an undertaker of Hastings; Elizabeth, wife of John Hurley of Carrolltown; Joseph, a druggist of Hastings; Miss Gertrude, who lives at the family homestead in Carrolltown; Sister Mary Agnes, who is in the convent at San Antonio, Fla.; and Walter B. of the Medea Hotel, Johnstown, who makes his home with [remaining sentences torn from paper].
