Stanley Ashbridge son of John Ash
bridge, died Tuesday night after s:tf-
fering for weeks with typhoid fever.
He contracted this disease while work
ing for the Penna. Railroad Co.. at

had all along held out strong hopes
for his recovery, but change for he
worse came Tuesday morning and the
doctor could not save him. In his
death this town loses a good citizen.
H. was well i.nown-as he was born
and lived here all his life. As a boy
he went into Moore Bros machine
shop and learned that trade. Wnen
that company closed down he at once
secured work with the Penna Rail

where he worked until stricken with
fever. His wife after faithfully nurs
ing him unfortunately was stricken
with the same malady and is very
low at this time and has not been made
acquainted with her great loss. In
the death of Stanley Ashbridge this
whole town is bereft and profoun1
sympathy goes out to the bereaved
family.
