ALTMEYER - Mrs. Barbara Altmeyer, a pioneer resident of McKeesport,
died at 10 o'clock this morning at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Barbara Stinner, on South Duquesne Avenue, Duquesne.
She had been a sufferer with ailments due to old age for
nearly two years past and her death was not unexpected.
Mrs. Altmeyer was born on September 29, 1817, and was
consequently over 82 years of age. For a number of years
she had made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Stinner,
and was a consistent Christian lady, serving her Creator
in the German Catholic faith.
Mrs. Altmeyer is survived by seven children, namely,
Mrs. Barbara Stinner and Mrs. Mary Flaus, of Duquesne;
Mrs. Catherine Nagle, of East End, Pittsburgh; Mrs.
Margaret Stone, of Louisville, Ky.; Mrs. Lizzie Dewar,
of California, Pa.; George Altmeyer, secretary of the
McKeesport Republican city committee, and Jacob Altmeyer,
also of this city.
The funeral will take place on Tuesday. Requiem high
mass will be celebrated in St. Joseph's German Catholic
church, on West Grant Avenue, Duquesne, at 9 a.m., and
the remains will be laid to rest in St. Mary's cemetery,
McKeesport, at a later hour.
An interesting history is connected with the early life
of Mrs. Altmeyer in McKeesport, particularly with regard
to church work. When St. Peter's church, on Market Street,
was founded, she was one of the leaders in the movement,
and to her much of the credit in the establishing of the
church was due. Later the German Catholics separated from
St. Peter's and Mrs. Altmeyer joined the German church.
She was a well known and highly respected lady and at the
time of her death was connected with St. Joseph's church,
of Duquesne.

Charles ANDERSON, one of the oldest and most reliable freight

this morning. He was employed as a yard conductor. As his train
was passing Herrs station this morning, he accidentally fell from
the first car and the entire train of 30 cars passed over him.

together to identify. Portions were scattered along the track
for almost a quarter of a mile. The head was severed from the
trunk. The remains were collected and taken to Ebbert's undertaking
rooms.
The accident was not seen by anyone on the train and nothing was
known of it until the remains were discovered on the track.
ANDERSON was one of the most highly respected conductors on the
road, and was always efficient in the discharge of his duties.
He has been on the road since he was quite a young man and has
many friends among the employees. He was married and resided
at 81 White Oak alley, Allegheny.

from his injuries the same evening. Coroner West was notified and
empaneled a jury, but adjourned the inquest till this evening at half
past seven o'clock at his office on Grant Street.

ANTONOVSKI - A sad accident occurred at the McDonald depot last Sunday
afternoon by which a man named ANTONOVSKI, living at Willow
Grove, was killed. He was waiting at the depot with the
body of a child of his who had died the day before,
intending to take it away on the train when he noticed
an east bound freight approaching at a high rate of
speed, and fearing apparently that the little coffin
containing the remains projected too far over onto the
track, ran to pull it back. But he was not quick enough
in getting away and the train hit him, knocking him
about twenty feet and injuring him so that he died in
a few moments. His wife and little girl standing by
were terribly affected at being thus doubly afflicted.
