Shock and Pneumonia Following Fracture of Leg Responsible for Sudden Passing of Abednego B. Griffith.
Funeral services will be conducted this afternoon at the Bell Funeral Home on Wayne avenue, followed by interment in the Greenwood cemetery, for Abednego B. Griffith, aged 84, a long-time resident of Indiana, who died at the Indiana hospital early Monday morning from shock and pneumonia, which developed following a fracture of the leg sustained on Sunday, September 29, when he collided with a car.
The accident occurred as the aged man, who was afflicted with defective sight, was leaving the Baptist church. Failing to see the car on Oakland avenue, between Church and School streets, he walked into the side of the machine, which was owned by A.L. Fech, of North Eighth street, who reported that his automobile was stopped at the time of the accident.
The deceased, who was born in Green township, November 16, 1851, was a son of Samuel Griffith and was a descendant of one of the early families of that section of the county. He was engaged in farming in Green township and later in Cherryhill township during his active life before locating to Indiana. He was a long-time member of the Baptist church and his pastor, Rev. John W. Kennedy, will officiate at the funeral rites.
He was married in 1894 to Miss Amanda Grown, of Cherryhill township, who survives. He was a brother of Evan Griffith, of Homer City, the only surviving member of the Griffith family.
