Arthur DAKIN, aged 21 years, died at this home in McKees Rocks about five o'clock Saturday morning, May 6th of spinal meningitis. Mr. DAKIN had been ill only since Thursday morning, having been stricken with the disease while at work in the car shops. On being removed to his home he continued to grow worse until death mercifully released him from his terrible sufferings. The deceased was born at Midway, but his home in recent years had been at West Newton. On December 22, 1904, he was married to Miss Rachel HOLLAND of Midway and since that time they had been living at McKees Rocks. Besides his young wife he is survived by his father, one brother and five sisters. The remains were brought to Midway in a hermetically sealed lead casket and taken direct to Centre cemetery where a brief service was conducted by Revs. HEADLEY and GIBSON. An account of the death, which was published in the daily papers, confused the name of Arthur DAKIN with that of Albert YOUNG, a mistake made owing to the fact that his fellow employees called him by the latter name on account of his resemblance to a man who bore that name. Mrs. DAKIN has the sympathy of the entire community in her sad bereavement
