THE DEATH ROLL
Harry B. Risheberger
Stoyestown, Aug. 16 — Harry B. Rishenberger, son of John and Margaret Risheberger, well-known residents of this place, died here last evening, from Bright’s disease. He had been in failing health for more than one year, but had been confined to his bed only a few days. He was born in Jennifer Township on September 18, 1870, and lived there until about nine years ago, when he removed to Ligonier. He was married twelve years ago to Miss Bertha Sacha, of Sipesville, and she, together with two children, John and Myrtle, survive.
While living at Ligonier Mr. Risheberger had been employed as a clerk in the Hotel Breniser. When it became evident two months ago that the disease with which he was afflicted was likely to prove fatal, he came to Stoyestown and remained at the home of his parents here until the time of his death. The funeral will be held tomorrow morning from the family residence, the Rev. J. S. English, pastor of the Lutheran Church, officiating. Burial will be made in the Odd Fellows Cemetery. Besides his wife and two children, a brother, William, of Monessen, and a sister, Mrs. Annie Ray, of Ligonier, survive. |
