Death of Levi Gray.

  Mr. Levi Gray, who resided on Eleventh avenue, between Eighth and 
Ninth streets, died just at midnight last night.  His complaint was 
dropsy of the heart.  Friends were with him all the time.  A few 
minutes before his death he walked across the room with the aid of two 
of his attendants, and sat down.  While there he just threw himself 
back and suddenly expired.  Deceased was a man advanced in years, and 
has been for a long time Superintendent of the Altoona City Gas works.  
He has been ailing for about a year, and during the last three months 
was confined to the house.  He leaves a wife and four children, the 
latter all married.  Mr. Gray was a member of the Philadelphia lodge of 
Odd Fellows, and of the American Mechanics, and was a faithful 
attendant and member of the Second Presbyterian church.  He was 
entirely resigned to his fate, and was ready to go when the summons 
came.  A special meeting of the Mountain City Lodge of Odd Fellows, No. 
837, will be held this evening at 7 o'clock sharp.  The funeral will 
leave Altoona on Friday, to proceed to Solebury Presbyterian church, in 
Bucks county, the home of his childhood.
