JOSEPH J. SHAW IS SUDDENLY CALLED
Well Known Harness Maker Dies of Heart Trouble While Sitting at Bench In Seventeenth Street Shop.
Joseph J. Shaw, a well known horseman and harness maker, died suddenly while sitting at his bench in the shop at 900 Seventeenth street, at 5.25 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr. Shaw resided at 2017 Beale avenue and heart trouble was the cause of his death.
Mr. Shaw only last week formed a partnership with his brother, W. Scott Shaw, previous to which his place of business was at 1714 Union avenue for about ten years. He had been under the care of a physician for some time and had been warned against sudden exertion.
He did his first work on Monday and on returning to his home shortly after 6 o'clock he suffered a slight attack of heart ailment. He seemed as well as usual and was engaged in sewing a piece of harness when he fell to the floor in an unconscious condition. His brother was in the shop and he summoned Dr. C.E. Robinson, who arrived within a few minutes, but Mr. Shaw was dead when he arrived. Coroner W.T. Blackburn was notified but decided an inquest unnecessary.
Joseph Jordan Shaw was born in Altoona, Sept. 24, 1857, and had resided here all his life, being in the harness business for the past twenty years. He was a son of Samuel L. and Mary Shaw, both deceased. He was married Jan. 21, 1893, to Miss Clara Fellows of Tilton, N.H., at that place. Surviving are his wife and the following brothers and sisters: James C. of Portage, John W. of Hopewell, Samuel L. of Ridgely, Md., William S. of this city, Mrs. W.E. Burkett of Allegheny and Mrs. C.B. Bumgardner and Miss Margaret, both of this city.
The funeral will be held with public services to be conducted at the late home, 2017 Beale avenue, at 2.30 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, in charge of the Rev. W. Potter VanTries, pastor of the Broad Avenue Presbyterian church. Private interment will be made in Rose Hill cemetery.
FUNERAL TIME IS CHANGED
The funeral of Joseph J. Shaw, an account of whose death is given in another column of today's Altoona Mirror, will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with services at his residence, 2017 Beale avenue, instead of 2.30 o'clock as stated in the other article. Interment will be made in Oak Ridge cemetery. The remains can be viewed Saturday from 2 to 9 o'clock.
