    3. John H. Walton John H. Walton of Cresson, a former resident of Altoona, died at Summerhill on Saturday morning last of Bright’s disease. Mr. Walton was born in England 55 years ago. After receiving his early education and training there he came to America and settled in New York. He was a machinist by trade and after leaving New York traveled through the west. During his life he worked in Arizona, Colorado, and California and in Pittsburg. While in Pittsburg he was married, to which union six children were born. One son, John, died several years ago in a Philadelphia hospital after undergoing an operation. Twelve years ago he went to Altoona and secured employment in the Pennsylvania Railroad shops under foreman David Boorman. Owing to two of his daughters being employed in that place he moved to Cresson last fall, going to his work to Altoona each morning. During the winter while waiting for a train in the early morning he contracted a severe cold which developed into the disease which caused his death. Several months ago his physician ordered a change of climate. He accordingly went south and after spending a short time at Jacksonville and finding that his health was not improving he returned to Cresson. A few weeks ago he went to Summerhill with the hope of prolonging his life, but gradually grew more feeble until death brought relief. His wife and five children survive: Emma, Bessie, Alice, Thomas and Frank, all at home. He was a prominent lodge man being a member of Logan Lodge No. 490., Free and Accepted Masons of Altoona, Lake Ontario Commandery, No. 32, Knights Templar of Oswego, N. Y. and Jaffa Temple A. A. O.

The remains were taken to Altoona Monday afternoon where the funeral services were held, conducted by Logan Lodge F. & A. M. Interment followed in Fairview cemetery.

The accident which befell the deceased occurred in Shoemaker’s mine at Sonman and he was afterwards taken to the Memorial Hospital at Johnstown, where he remained for about two months, when he was taken to his home in Washington township where he lingered for a month longer, although his injuries were of a fatal nature. He is survived by his mother, five brothers and three sisters as follows: Frank of Gallitzin; Robert of Johnstown; Jacob, James, Blair, Lizzie and Katie, at home; Mrs. Ed Gobin of Johnstown.
