VISITOR DROPPED DEAD IN LOCK HAVEN HOSPITAL
Summons Come Suddenly to William H. Wren, of Juniata, on Sunday Afternoon
The community was greatly shocked Sunday afternoon when it learned of the sudden and unexpected death of William H. Wren, of Juniata, formerly of this city. Death occurred at 3 o'clock at the local hospital from heart trouble. Deceased had been ailing with heart trouble for the past several years, but his condition never became serious enough to cause alarm. Mr. Wren had attended Sunday school and church services at East Main Street Methodist church Sunday morning and he appeared to be as well as usual. He and his wife had been visiting relatives in this city for the past two weeks and they had planned to spend Christmas with their son, Arthur, in this city.
In company with his nephew, Albert Myers, the farm implement dealer of this city, Mr. Wren walked to the hospital Sunday afternoon to see a relative who was a patient in that institution. When near the hospital, Mr. Wren complained of a pain near his heart, but attributed it to the hearty dinner he had partaken of a short time before. The two men entered the hospital and Mr. Wren was standing near his relative's bed when he suddenly fell to the floor and expired a couple of minutes later. The body was taken in charge by Undertaker C.R. Lauer and removed to the home of deceased's sister-in-law, Mrs. George Wait, East Clinton street.
William H. Wren was born in Flemington in August, 1831, and was the son of Samuel and Sophia Wren. He was therefore 65 years of age. Mr. Wren was united in marriage 40 years ago to Miss Pernella Earon, of Beech Creek. Five years later he removed to Lock Haven and opened a small grocery store on East Clinton street, opposite the Pennsylvania railroad passenger station. He continued in the grocery business until three years ago when he retired from active life and moved to Juniata, in company with his wife, where he made his home with his daughter, Mrs. James Garthoff. During the time deceased was in the grocery business, he erected a new and modern three-story brick building on the site of his former grocery store. He also built up a lucrative trade in the ice cream business and conducted an ice cream and lunch room in connection with his store. Since retiring the business has been conducted by his son, Arthur.
Mr. Wren was a prominent member of East Main Street Methodist church of this city for the past 35 years. He was a kind and loving husband and father and his main object in life was obeying the commandments of his Heavenly Father. He was a man of great Christian influence and highly respected by all who knew him.
Deceased is survived by his wife, one son and one daughter, Arthur, of this city, and Mrs. Jacob Garthoff, of Juniata. Also by one brother and three sisters; Frank Wren, residing on East Walnut street, this city; Mrs. Edward Marks, Mrs. Joseph Mantle and Mrs. Myron Gummo, all of Beech Creek.
Funeral services will be conducted at 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at East Main Street Methodist church by Rev. James M. Brennan. Interment in Dunnstown cemetery.
