Samuel A. McAteer

  Mr. Samuel A. McAteer, brother of Senator Harry J. McAteer, died 
suddenly about 2 o'clock Monday morning.  Mr. McAteer was conductor of 
a freight train on the P.R.R. and was engaged in making up his train at 
the Asylum road crossing, in the Harrisburg yard, when the disease 
which terminated fatally, first attacked him.  Remarking that he did 
not feel well, he went to the engine and had been in the cabin, but in 
a few moments, his spirit winged its flight to unknown realms.  
Deceased resided in Millville, near Altoona, where he leaves a wife and 
seven children.  He was aged about 56 years, and had many friends and 
acquaintances who will be pained to learn of his sudden taking off.
