Sudden Death OfM. T. Hindman.

Not for yeals has this community re-
ceived such a shock by the death of a
citizen as that caused by the sudden ter
mination OF the life of Commissioners
Clerk Hindman yesterday, short time
before the noon hour. Although not in
the enjoyment of perfect health for some
time past, he still was able to transact all
his business, which for the past few
weeks had been greater than usual, owing
to some important business changes in
which he was about to engage, namely,
the purchase Of part interest in the
Lawrence 6 Smearbaugh numbering
plant at this place, and its attendant cares
in getting ready for the spring work.
He had gone to his work in the morning
at the Commissioners office, and had at
tended TO a number Of other matters, re-
turning TO his home about a quarter after
eleven. Mrs. Hindman, for the moment
was in another portion of the house and
/ did not know of his entrance. Stepping
out on the porch at the rear of the house,
she discovered her husband had fallen to
the floor, and was to all appearances dead.
Help was quickly summoned and the
PROSTATE man was carried into the house
and laid on the couch, and in a very few
moments Drs. Bovard and Greaves were
present. Restoratives were administered
aud for time it looked as though he was
reviviug, but with all that could be done
he breathed his last at about ll:35 o'clock.
Milton Thompson Hindman was the
only son of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Hind
man, and was born near Corsica, Jetier-
son county, A years ago last February.
He spent most of his life in that vicinity,
and having received very liberal eGuca-
tion, was engaged for number of years
in teaching. About ten years ago he
came to Clarington, this county, and was
for time engaged in the mercantile bus
iness, afterwards for several terms being
elected principal of the schools at that
place, in the summer seasons conducting
a very successful private school. 1t was
during his residence there, in the summer
of 1898 that he was united in maeriage
with Miss Millie Brenneman, daughter
of Esquire X. W. Brenneman, who sur
wives him.
A little more than year ago he was
elected Clerk to the County Commission
ers OF Forest county, position, which he
filled with signal ability and to the grea
satisfaction of all who had business trans
actions with that Office. During his resi-
dence in Tionesta he had steadily grown
in popularity with the people, and it car
be truthfully said that none of our citi
zens stood higher in TIE estimation of al
than he.
Besides the wife he is survived by hi
mother and two sisters, Mrs. Clara Moore
; of Brookville, Pa, and Miss Blanch
. Hindman, teacher in the public schools
of Salt Lake City, Utah.
In this sudden and very sad bereaye
lnent the tender sympathy of all in thi
community goes out to the alli iicted wife
who is prostrated with grief by the swii
termination Of contented, happy an
beautiful marital relation.
