Abraham Heitchue Abraham Heitchue died at his home in this place Monday morning from paralyses at the age of sixty-two. Mr. Heitchue who was a carpenter, had been working at his trade at Bakerton, this county, until about nine weeks ago when he was forced to give up work and return to his home in this place where after a slight illness of about a week, he was stricken with a paralytic stroke. Since that time he had been confined to his bed and another stroke, quite recently, caused his death. The deceased lived but a short time in Carrolltown but had spent practically his whole life in this place.

Funeral services were conducted in the Church of the Holy Name in this place on Wednesday morning by the pastor, Rev. Father Fox, who recently came from Huntingdon to take charge of the parish. Interment was made in the old Catholic cemetery which adjoins the church. William Richardson William Richardson one of the oldest residents of this place died at his home in the West Ward at 9:30 Sunday morning after an illness of about one week from a dropsical affection. Mr. Richardson was born near Morrison’s Cove, Blair County, seventy- four years ago. In early life he was a stage driver on the Pittsburg and Philadelphia pike and during this time drove many noted personages over Pennsylvania’s first great highway. Among these was Louis Kossuth, whose visit to this country in 1852 aroused such a wave of patriotic sympathy. The winter of 1852 was the most severe in the history of Pennsylvania and the great Hungarian made the trip over the mountain in a sleigh being escorted by more than a hundred prominent citizens of Cambria county and spent the night at Ebensburg. Mr. Richardson who drove the sleigh always looked back on his past to the incident with pride. He often recalled also that among his passengers in those days were Joshua Parrish, Esq., and his bride on their way to Pittsburg on a wedding trip. The couple celebrated their golden wedding about two years ago. Deceased is survived by his wife and the following children: James and William of this place; Annie, Rose, Fannie, Maud, married and living at different places in the state; Myra and Mattie, at home. One daughter, Agnes, preceded him to the grave. Brain Lesions Caused Death On Thursday of last week the coroner’s jury in the case of the death of Henry Mullen who was found dead in a hotel in Vintondale, returned the following verdict: We, the jury, find from the testimony and the result of a post mortem examination that Henry Mullen came to his death from brain lesions either from an injury or apoplexy, and we find that there is nothing showing that he received his death at the Village Hotel while a guest and the real cause for the brain lesions, which were the cause of his death is unknown to the jury. The jury was composed of T. E. Morgan, G. V. Barrett, George C. Cushwa, H. R. Patterson, J. M. Hagens, and B. R. Hoffman. The witnesses testified that Mullen had been about the place and that when Rodgers, the bartender, came back from a sleigh ride, Mullen was found lying on the floor of the washroom, snoring. Rodgers and others tried to arouse him but failed and covered him with blankets and let him lie until morning when he was found dead. The room was warm. No one heard him say anything about having a fight or any trouble with any person. Mullen moved to No. 204 Blaine Street, Vintondale last fall. He was a native of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and leaves a wife, Catherine, and three children. _________________________________________________________________ Store, manage and share up to 5GB with Windows Live SkyDrive. http://skydrive.live.com/welcome.aspx?provision=1?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_skydrive_102008
