Notes
a. Note:   N163 Elk Democrat, Ridgway, PA, January 14, 1896
 Peter R. Irwin, a long time resident of Eagle Valley, died at his home on Water street, Saturday last, shortly before 2 oÕclock of gangrene, aged 64 years, 8 months, and 14 days. The fatal disease first fastened itself upon him last spring and was the result of a severe attack of la grippe, combined with a probably frozen foot, which finally settled in that member. Three weeks before his death it was found necesssary to perform an amputation of one of the toes of his left foot, the operation being performed by Dr. W. L. Williams. From that time he became bed ridden and from day to day his physical strength relaxed until death ended his sufferings on the above named time.
 The funeral was held at the Congregational church by Rev. J. S. Upton, assisted by Rev. A. C. Bowers, of the Centre street M. E. church. Interment was made in Pine Grove cemetery. Shortly before the services at the church, prayer was offered at the home on account of the wife of the deceased, who at present is confined with an attack of typhoid fever. The pall bearers were C. E. Holaday, DuBois Gorton, H. K. Gregory, Morris Sherman, John Swanson and David Van Aken. Deceased was born at Lackawack, Ulster county, N. Y., in 1831, and twenty-four years ago removed to Elk county. He has continuously been employed by W. H. Osterhout, later by the Elk Tanning Company, since his first inhabitation of Ridgway. The past twelve years his services have been retained in the capacity of barn boss at the Eagle Valley tannery. His living children are John H., Ridgway; Mrs. H. O. Ellithorpe, Carlo; Mrs. Frank Lenig, St. Louis; Daniel C. Irwin, Ellicottville; Mrs. T. J. Bogle, Ridgway; Mrs. J. K. Lewis, Ridgway; Miss Ermina, who resides at home, all of whom were present at the obsequies. All the children were at the death bed with the exception of Mrs. Lenig, of St. Louis, who reached Ridgway shortly after the sad occurrence.
