Obituary:
Philip Freeman, an aged and respected resident of New Florence, Westmoreland County, died suddenly at his residence, corner of Ligonier and Fifteeth streets, at 2:05 o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Freeman was about as usual on Thursday evening, when he visited S.S. Ulrich's general store, and talked with a number of friends there. At 8 o'clock he went home and ate an orange. After his wife returned from the United Brethren Church, where she had been attending services, Mr. Freeman went to bed. Shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Freeman was awakened by her husband trying to get out of bed. Dr. W.W. Grove was at once sent for and when he arrived at the Freeman residence the old gentleman had just breathed his last. Dr. Grove said the cause of Mr. Freeman's sudden demise was apoplexy. He was born in the Ligonier Valley, Westmoreland County, seventy one years ago and had resided in that county all his life. A brother is living at Irwin. Mr. Freeman was twice married. He is survived by his second wife, whose maiden name was Brown, and by several children to each marriage. The subject of this sketch was a veteran of the late War. He was a private in Company I, Eleventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, Richard Coulter being his Captain when he enlisted. At the time of his death he was a member of Captain D.P. Smith, Post 221, of New Florence. Mr. Freeman was a lifelong member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at New Florence and was a faithful attendant at the services. The funeral will take place at 10 o'clock on Monday morning, when Rev. M.M. Hildebrand, pastor of the M.E. Church at that place, will conduct the obsequies, after which interment will be made in the Nineveh cemetery.
