"DEATH OF JONATHAN HOFFMAN
Jonathan Hoffman, one of the oldest and highly respected citizens of Adamsdale died at his home there on Thursday morning at four o'clock. He had been in excellent health and on Wednesday evening had been at Adams Store and left there at nine o'clock remarking that he would go to bed early so that he could get up early. During the night his wife heard him breathing heavily but at first thought he was only snoring. She however, became alarmed, sent for some of the neighbors and summoned Dr. Dechert but before the latter could reach him, Mr. Hoffman had died.
Jonathan Hoffman was n his 70th year and had been a life long resident of South Manheim Township. He was a veteran of the Civil War. He was a boat builder in George Adams' yard until the canal shut down and then he devoted himself to farming.
His widow and these children survive: George M. and Henry A. of Pottsville, Mrs. Ed Skeen of Pottsville, Sallie of Port Carbon and Mrs. Lizzie Smith of Orwigsburg. He was a brother of Amos Hoffman of town, Thomas Hoffman of Cressona, Morris and James Hoffman of New Jersey and Mrs. M. McCann of Philadelphia. The funeral will take place from his late home at one o'clock next Tuesday with services at the house by Reverend Weller of Orwigsburg. Interment will be at Union Cemetery, Schuylkill Haven."
