SEWICKLEY, PA., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1906
No. 26
V'f
A   Quiet   Day   With   Very
Little    Interest   Shown.
Diehl's Easy Victory.
DRYNAN   RECEIVES   96   VOTES.
Tuesday's election passed off
very quietly and there were no
strenuous efforts made to get out
the vote, as it was generally conceded that Mr. A. H. Diehl would
be elected to council from the First
ward. .Mr. Thomas Drynan, his
opponent, who has been a candidate
for council at each election for
several years back, ran away ahead
of his previous vote. In 1905,
when running against Mr. W. E.
Patton, he polled 60 votes, while
in this contest he secured 96.
Mr. S. G. Ritchey, for tax collector, received the largest vote
polled, in the First ward, which
was 303. There were several
persons voted for whose names
were written on the ticket.
The vote in full follows:
First Ward.

John C. Wilson Expires  at
Philadelphia Upon Hearing of D. S. Wilson's
Demise.
OTHER RECENT DEATHS.
David Shields Wilson died Monday morning at his home in Leetsdale, and a few hours later his
brother, John G. Wilson, died &\-'
most without warning when the
news reached him that his brother
had passed away.
Both died of heart disease, David
S. Wilson having been in poor
health for some time. Death to
the other brother came from shock.
The news was conveyed to John
G. Wilson over the long distance
telephone Monday morning and his
death occurred soon after receipt of
the nev/s.
Monday morning when a member
of the family of Robert K. Wilson
knocked at the door of David Wil- "=**
son's room there was no response.
The door was forced, when Mr.
Wilson was found dead in his bed.
Dr. Robert Murray, when called,
made a hasty examination, but his
aid was too late.
For some time past Mr. Wilson
had been a great sufferer from
heart trouble, and was under constant medical treatment. He retired from active business several
years ago, and since then has made
his home with his brother, Robert
K. Wilson.
Since 1875 Mr. Wilson has been
a resident of Leetsdale, having
moved there f~om Washington, Pa.,
where he was born. In the early
sixties Mr. Wilson's wife died and
left him childless. He never remarried. J
