night at 8:40 o'clock at the State Hospital, where he had been a patient the

the Freeland and McAdoo trolley routes. After the trolleys were replaced by
buses in 1932, he became a driver for the Hazleton Auto Bus Co. successor to
the traction company, and was assigned to the Freeland run. When the
Hazleton Auto Bus Co. sold out it's regional franchises several years ago,
he joined the Diamond Bus Co. and drove the Northwest section and Bethlehem
routes.
He was a member of the First Presbyterian church, of this city.
He was also a member of the Presbyterian Men's League, the West Hazleton
Game, Rod and Gun Club and the Pioneer Fire Co.
His wife, the former Romaine Horsfield, died in September, 1954.
He is survived by the following children: John Jr., at home; Mrs. Jean
Smulligan, of this city, and Alvin of Bloomsburg. Two brothers, Paul, of
Bloomsburg RD 2; William, of Hollywood; and a sister, Mrs. Emily Cawley, of

Church, officiating. Interment will be in Sky View Memorial Cemetery.
