The many friends of Joseph Shovlin, who for many years was connected with his brother Daniel in the plumbing business in this city, will be grieved to learn of his demise which occurred at Atlantic City Sunday morning. Deceased was 46 years of age and his death was due to carcinoma of the intestines. For some time he had been in poor health and went to Atlantic City believing that the sea air would be beneficial.

Weaver school at the time of his death four months ago while his brother, Daniel, with whom he was engaged in business, is now living retired in the city. His wife survives as well as the following children: Joseph manager Woolworth store at Pottsville; Mary, Gene, Claire and Dorothy. James A. Shovlin, another brother, is a well known local insurance man. The funeral will take place from the home of his brother, James Shovlin, 274 E. Northampton street.
Mr. Shovlin was a man of sterling qualities and had many friends. At one time he was a member of the city council and took an active interest in municipal affairs. The plumbing firm of which he was a member, did considerable work throughout the valley in many of the larger buildings. He was a member of the local lodge of Elks, also a member of the Knights of Columbus, and during his life was a faithful member of St. Mary's church.
