ELIAS YEATER

A former watchman at the Gallitzin tunnel and an employee of the Pennsylvania railroad for 
twenty-five years and a resident of Jeannette, where he was transferred three or four years ago, 
was killed on the Pennsylvania railroad near Jeannette early Wednesday morning, the body being 
found about 7 o'clock. He was evidently struck by a fast passenger train.  Mr. Yeater lost an arm 
in an accident twenty-four years ago while a resident of Gallitzin.  Surviving are his widow, Mrs. 
Annie Yeater, and the following brothers and sisters:  Treaty S. Yeater and Charles Yeater, both 
of Altoona, Mrs. John Watt, Mrs. Sadie Stong and Percy Yeater, all of Juniata county.  Funeral 
services were conducted at the Yeater home at 10.30 o'clock this morning, after which the body 
was removed to the Christian and Missionary Alliance church at Portage, where obsequies were 
conducted at 2 o'clock this afternoon by Rev. A. N. Salvie.  Burial was made in Prospect 
cemetery, Portage.
