LEHIGHTON PRESS
Volume 16, Number 20, Friday, March 2, 1900
Greater Lehighton Doings.
Robert Dolon, eldest son of the late George Dolon, of Packerton,
died suddenly of heart failure Saturday evening while seated with his family about the supper table at their home on Coal street. Deceased was aged 29 years and was very popular. He was employed as a clerk in the Forwarding office at Packerton. Besides his wife three little children are left to mourn. Mr. Dolon had not been in the best of health for several years and consequently the family is left practically destitute. The wife is without a relative in this country.
She is a worthy woman and our charitably inclined people can do much to alleviate her sufferings in this sad hour of affliction. Fellow employees of the Packerton shops have contributed a purse to defray the funeral expenses. That the departed was held in high esteem was evidenced at the funeral on Tuesday morning when nearly two hundred employees came down in a special train and took a last look at the remains as they reposed in the casket at the altar of the Catholic Church. Interment was made in the Catholic Cemetery, Rev. Hammeke officiating.
