years and was born and raised about two
miles above franklin, Venango county,
and in his younger days was woll known
in the oil country. He went to Pittsburg
few weeks ago to have a tumor removed
from the side of his head and it was
thought hat the operation had been sue
cessfully performed and he had been re-
moved from the hospital to the home of
his son, who says that he seemed to feel
better than he had for some time past, but
he was stricken with paralysis which re-
suited in his death. He was buried at

daughters to mourn his death. We are
without further particulars.
Joseph Wuerzge, second son of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Wuerzge of Wing Hill,
died at his home last Wednesday. Feb. 3.
1897, aged about 25 years. About three
years ago the young man contracted a
severe cold which settled on his lungs
and from which he never recovered.
About two years ago he was taken to the
Oil City hospital for treatment and an
operation which he underwent resulted
in tho discovery that an abscess had
formed on his lungs and that medical aid
was out of the question. The young
man was brought home and he has been
expected to die at any time ever since,
and physicians are at loss to understand
how he lived as long as he did. Pre-
vious to his illness he was a steady, in
dustrious and popular young man. The
bereaved relatives have the sympathy of
all their friends. The remains were in
TERED in the M. e. church yard on Whig
Hill on Friday afternoon, the funeral
services being conducted by Rev. j. e.
