GERMAN RESIDENT DIES SUDDENLY OF PARALYSIS
Andrew Fehrenbach, 78 years old, a retired blacksmith, died unexpectedly at his home 706 Morrison street yesterday afternoon of a stroke of paralysis. While he had been ailing for a considerable time, he seemed no worse than usual until yesterday morning when he suffered a paralytic stroke and died a few hours later.
Mr. Fehrenbach had been a resident of New Castle 39 years and was very well known, especially among the citizens of German extraction. For many years he followed the trade of blacksmith, but retired some time ago when he began to fail under the weight of years. His wife died seven years ago. Twelve children, seven daughters and five sons survive. These are Mrs. Chipert (Schippert), Mrs. Rosch (Rosche) and Mrs. Snyd (Schneider) of Pittsburg; Sister Gabriel of the order of the Sisters of Divine Providence of St. Joseph's convent, East Liberty; Joseph Fehrenbach of Youngstown; Fred and Albert of Sharon and Mrs. Williamson, Mrs. Heller , Mrs. Sewald, Edward and Andrew of this city.
Mass for the repose of the soul of Mr. Fehrenbach will be said at St. Joseph's church of which he was a member, at nine o'clock tomorrow morning and the burial will be in the church cemetery.
