William Speck, one of the best known and oldest residents of Huntingdon, died at his home, 915 Washington street, Huntingdon, on Sunday morning, from a second stroke of paralysis with which he was taken on Thursday morning at 6 o'clock. His daughter found him in an unconscious condition in his bed at that hour, and he continued unconscious until his death. Almost twenty years ago he had sustained paralysis of the left side, but recovered sufficiently to get around and continue in his work. For sixty-eight years he was a member of the Lutheran church.
