Philip A. Fey, aged 63, of 378 South Poplar street, died on Saturday night at 10:30 o'clock at his home. Although he had been ailing several months, it was only the past week that he has been bedfast. He was the son of the late Henry and Martha Sauers Fey, and had spent his entire life in this city, where he had been a tailor for the past number of years. The deceased was a member of the Christ Lutheran church, of this city, and was a former exalted ruler of the Hazleton Lodge of Elks. He managed the Hazleton House for a number of years, later he conducted the Vienna Cafe, and was a steward at the Elks' Club. Mr. Fey for many years was prominent in the affairs of the city, and because of the several major positions he held in the central business section, he was one of Hazleton's most widely known business men. Soon after Mr. Fey retired from the management of the old Hazleton House, the Broad street front of the building was altered and the Hub Clothing Store and the Madison Restaurant now occupies what was once a section of the hotel lobby, which has been moved to Wyoming street.
Surviving are his widow, Elizabeth Arnold Fey; three children, Kathleen, Arnold and Norbert, at home; one brother, Martin Fey; three sisters, Mrs. George Heidenrich, of Philadelphia, Miss Mary Fey, Mrs. Michael Kuntz, and one step-sister, Mrs. George Haegele, all of this city.
The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the late residence. Interment will be private and will be at the Holy Trinity German Catholic cemetery.
