ABRAHAM HEITCHUE.
Abraham Heitchue died at his home in Ebensburg this morning from paralysis, at the age of sixty-two. Mr. Heitchue, who was a carpenter, had been working at his trade at Bakerton, this county, until about nine weeks ago, when he was forced to give up work and return to his home in the county seat, where, after a slight illness of about a week, he was stricken with a paralytic stroke. Since that time he had been confined to his bed and another stroke, quite recently, caused his death.
The deceased lived for a short time in Carrolltown, but had spent practically all his life in the county seat.
Besides his wife, whose maiden name was Miss Mary Weible, Mr. Heitchue, is survived by eight of the nine children which constituted the family -- Celestine, of Pittsburg; Bertha, wife of John Follmer, of the Seventeenth Ward, this city; Edward, also of the Seventeenth Ward; Harry, of Walnut Grove; Matthew, of Gallitzin; Annie, wife of Daniel Thorp, of Ebensburg, and John and Bert A., also of the county seat.
Funeral services will be conducted in the Church of the Holy Name at Ebensburg on Wednesday morning by the paster, the Rev. Father Fox, who recently came from Huntingdon to take charge of the parish. Interment will be made in the old Catholic Cemetery which adjoins the church. |
