JOHN MOUNTAIN

A prominent Frankstown township farmer and well known lumberman, dropped dead 
about 3 o'clock, yesterday afternoon, at his saw mill in the Loop, near his 
home, of heart failure. The deceased was 59 years old and had been a resident 
of Frankstown township all his life, where he followed agricultural pursuits 
and lumbering. He was an upright citizen and a man of sterling business 
integrity. He had been complaining of heart failure for the past three years, 
but yesterday was even more cheerful than usual. He was laughing and chatting 
with the mill hands, when he was suddenly stricken down and fell dead without 
uttering a word. He is survived by his wife, one daughter and two sons, Miss 
Mary, and William, at home, and John, a fireman on the Pittsburg division; 
also three brothers and two sisters - Ashbury and David of Frankstown 
township; Samuel of Clearfield county; Mrs. Jacob Wertz and Mrs. William 
Wertz, both of Frankstown township.
