J. LEE RUPERT

  J. Lee Rupert, one of the best known of the rank and file of Huntingdon, 
having conducted a job printing establishment for many years, died at his 
home, 501 Seventh street, early Wednesday morning at 1:45 o'clock.  Mr. 
Rubert had been afflicted with brights disease, and early last fall suffered 
a breakdown so that he was no longer able to be in his printshop.  He was a 
son of George Rupert, who was killed in the Civil war and his mother, who 
married again, is the widow of Jesse Goodman, residing at 910 Mifflin street.  
He was born at Mill Creek on March 27, 1858, and at the time of his death was 
nearing the completion of his sixty-first year.  Mr. Rupert was twice 
married.  His first wife was a daughter of the late Alexander Campbell, of 
this place.  By this union one son, Elmer N. Rupert, of 425 Washington 
street, survives.  His first wife having died, Mr. Rupert was married the 
second time, to Laura Garver, whose aged mother has been making her home 
during her invalid years with the Rupert family.  His wife survives, together 
with an only daughter, Miss Lillian, at home.  Mr. Rupert was a consistent 
member of the Church of the Brethren.  Funeral services will be held at the 
residence on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock in charge of Rev. J. H. Cassiday 
and Rev. W. J. Swigart, with interment in Riverview cemetery.
