He was taken sick on the 23rd of May and was operated on at St. Joseph's hospital for appendicitis and gall bladder. He was in the hospital three weeks when he was removed to his home, 157 Southern Ave., Knoxville, PA, but never fully recovered. About three weeks before his death, he had a severe attack of acute indigestion, from which he gradually grew weaker. He died Friday, July 14, 1911, at 4 p.m. of acute gastritis at his home. The remains were brought to the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Anna WEBER, Saturday evening, on Duquesne.

Looney, of Lilly, PA, deacon; Rev. Father George Quinn, of West Salisbury, subdeacon. Interment was in the Catholic cemetery.
