    3. Charles Highway, an Italian living near McGarvey’s, received fatal injuries while cutting down poles in accordance with the instructions of the railroad company Friday. Highway and Lingi Atubatto were at work on a pole near Twenty-fourth street, Altoona, and when it fell were unable to get out of the way. Highway was struck on the head and knocked down over an embankment while Atubatto was struck in the back. Both men were removed to the Altoona hospital where the former was found to have a fractured skull and to be probably fatally injured. The latter received contusions of the back. Mrs. George Guelich, whose home was in Lawrence township, Clearfield county, about one mile distant from Clearfield met death Sunday under very sad circumstances. She and her husband were driving from their home in Clearfield that afternoon when their horse, frightened at an automobile just a short distance from their home, ran away at a frightful speed, threw them both from the buggy and injured Mrs. Guelich to such an extent that death resulted about four hours later. Mr. Guelich was also badly hurt but his injuries are not thought to be of a serious character. The deceased was aged about 70 years. OBITUARY Mrs. Mary J. Myers, relict of James Myers, died at her home in Ebensburg on Monday, May 25th, 1903, at 6:10 o’clock, P. M. from diseases incident to old age in her 83d year. The deceased whose maiden name was Murray was born in Ebensburg and was a granddaughter of David Todd, one of the pioneer settlers of this vicinity. Many years ago the deceased was married to James Myers, a well-known citizen of Ebensburg, who preceded her to the grave several years ago. Mrs. Myers is survived by two sons, H. H. Myers, a well-known attorney, and Gallitzin, and one daughter, Mrs. Cornelia Porter, all of Ebensburg. Ex-Sheriff John A. Blair, of Ebensburg is a half-brother of the deceased. Her funeral took place on Thursday morning at 9:30 o’clock when, after a High Mass of Requiem, at the Church of the Holy Name of which she was a devout member, her remains were interred in the cemetery adjoining. _________________________________________________________________ Talk to your Yahoo!
