 Thursday February 25 1904- RICHARD H. PANTON, aged 34 
years, a former well known woodsman and citizen of Emporium, 
died at Richmond, W.Va., last Friday. His remains 
accompanied by his mourning wife and children arrived in 
Emporium on Sunday afternoon on P.& E. Flyer. The funeral 
services were held on Monday at 2 p.m., Rev. O.S.Metzler of 
the First Methodist Episcopal Church officiating. 

  The account of the death of this popular gentlman, we take 
from the Fairmont, W. Va., paper, viz: 

  Mr. Richard H. Panting died at Cook Hospital Friday 
evening at 5 o'clock, at the age of 34 years. About two 
weeks ago Mr. Panting was severely injured by a fall, and 
when brought to the hospital was too far gone for medical 
skill to have any effect upon his condition, and he died at 
the time mentioned. He was injured through the abdomen and 
his injuries caused him much suffering. 

  Deceased was foreman for a lumber company at Richwood, and 
it was there that the accident occurred. 

  Mr. Panting was born in Canada. He was a resident of 
Emporium, Pa., before moving to Richwood. He is survived by 
his wife and five children. The family had been at the 
bedside for several days as was a brother, Mr. Frank 
Panting, of Prince Edward Island . Mr. Panting was a member 
of the Knights of the Maccabees, and this order looked after 
the funeral arrangements. The lodge was very attentive to 
the bereaved wife and family of the deceased. 

  The remains were prepared for burial at the Musgrove 
undertaking establishment and this afternoon taken to 
Emporium, Pa., for internment. The funeral party will not 
reach there before Sunday night, and the burial will take 
place Monday, probably. Mr. Panting was a good citizen, 
honest and industrious, and his death is much 
deplored.-Fairmont, W.Va. News. 

  The Panting boys, all industrious good citizens, have 
resided in Emporium for several years and were greatly 
attached one to the other- coming here from Prince Edward 
Island. The deceased was called to Emporium five weeks ago 
to follow the remains of his brother John to his last 
resting place. 

  After coming to Emporium he married Miss Annie Freeman, 
daughter of E.B. Freeman, of North Creek. In addition to his 
wife and five childre, the youngest only 11 months old, he 
leaves three brothers and four sisters to mourn his untimely 
death, A.H. Panting, of Emporium, and F.W. Panting of Prince 
Edward Island, who was visiting the deceased when the 
accident took place, were present at the funeral, in 
addition to a large concourse of other relatives and 
friends. The sympathy of our people goes out to the bereaved 
wife and children, as well as the brothers and sisters in 
the far away home. Mr. Panting carried $3,000 life 
insurance. $2,000 in the Maccabees and $1,000 Prudential.
