DIED IN THE ALMSHOUSE
John Leffler, a Former Johnstowner, Succumbs to Consumption
John Leffler, a former resident of Johnstown, died at the Cambria County Almshouse at 4 o'clock this morning, of consumption, aged between thirty and thirty-five years.
Leffler was admitted to the Almshouse September 25, 1899. He has a sister -- Mrs. Mary J. Adams -- living in West Taylor Township, and another sister -- a Mrs. Fredericks -- residing somewhere in the Ninth or Tenth Ward. Word of Leffler's death was sent to Mrs. Adams this morning and she replied that she would have nothing to do with the remains. Steward Hughes will keep the body for a day or two and will in the meantime try to locate other relatives to see if they care to claim the remains. If not, they will, of course, be interred in the cemetery on the County Home. |
