Muncie Glass Worker Stricken Soon After His Marriage Died Yesterday in Pittsburg-The Victim Was Patrick Savage of the Muncie Glass Works Word reached this city yesterday of a decidedly sad death that occured in Pittsburg yesterday morning, the victim being Patrick Savage, a well known flint glass worker employed at the factories of the Muncie Glass company. The demise in made doubly sad from the fact that the victim was married only during the past holidays. On Christmas eve the young man left this city for Pittsburg, his former home, to marry a Miss O'Leary, and after the first of the year the bride and groom were to have returned to Muncie, their future home. Accord- ingly the many friends of the groom had prepared to give the couple a happy surprise reception tomorrow. A short time after the wedding news of the sickness of Mr. Savage was recieved here, but nothing serious was anticipated until a few days ago when the information came that he had a severe case of grippe, which was developing into pneumonia, and that his life was in great danger. The remains will not be brought to Muncie for interment, but will be buried there tomorrow, and last night Stephen Noland went to attend the funeral as a representative of Local Union No. 91, American Flint Glass Workers, of which the deceased was a popular member. The deceased was aged 26 years, and was decidedly popular in this city and throughout the trade where known. |
