DEATH RECORD.

  Death came suddenly to William F. Vaughn, the well known brick manufacturer, 
at an early hour Saturday morning, at the home of his father-in-law, Mr. Isaac 
Glover, 810 Eighteenth avenue.  Death was caused by exhaustion, due to cramp, 
from which he had suffered several days.  He arose about midnight and became 
prostrated.  He fell over unconscious.  His wife, who is ill at her father's 
home, summoned the remainder of the family.  The family physician was 
immediately summoned, but Mr. Vaughn died before he arrived.  Deceased was 
born in Duncansville, Nov. 9, 1861.  He came to Altoona, with his parents, 
while yet a boy.  After he left school he engaged in the manufacture of brick, 
with his father.  They conducted the brick plant at Eldorado until the death 
of his father, after which he conducted the business himself until last 
spring, when he sold out.  He was still employed at the plant, however, being 
manager.  He was wedded to Annie Glover sixteen years ago.  He leaves his 
wife, who is at present ill, his mother, Mrs. M. J. Vaughn, and these brothers 
and sisters: Robert, the street commissioner; Joseph; Mrs. John Drass, Mrs. 
Frank Jamison and Misses Lizzie and Bertha, all of Altoona.  Deceased was a 
member of the Sacred Heart Catholic church, where mass will be celebrated at 8 
o'clock this morning.  Interment will be made in St. John's cemetery.
