Jacob A. Hetrick, one of the best known old soldiers of Huntingdon, died at his home on Tuesday, July 5th, aged 64 years. He was a native of Williamsburg, Blair County, but resided in Huntingdon and vicinity for about twenty years, following the occupation of a carpenter and dairyman. He had been a great sufferer from rheumatism for a long time, which, superinduced by cancer of the stomach and Bright's disease, caused his death.
Mr. Hetrick enlisted twice as a Civil war soldier and served with gallantry in the Third Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, Third Artillery, and in the 188th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. He was a member of George Simpson Post, No. 44, G. A. R., and was active in its deliberations for years. A consistent member of the Reformed church from youth, he was a faithful follower of the Master, and lived a life of high rectitude, which is worthy of emulation.
Besides his wife, Mr. Hetrick is survived by eight children, as follows: Walter, of Canton, Ohio; Mrs. L. W. Weaver of Shy Beaver; Alfred, of Mt. Union; Nicholas E, Christain I., Wm. H., and Misses Clara and Louisa, of Huntingdon. The funeral took place Thursday, Rev. D. E. Master officiating.
From The Hetrick Family, 1651-1955, compiled by Martha Louise Hetrick, 1955, page 82:
Their 12 children were - Concordia, Nicholas Elliot, Mary Catherine, Oliver, Sarah Nancy, Christian Ira, Andrew Walter, William Harry, Clara Elizabeth, Daniel Alfred, Louisa Jane and Anna Dessa.
