Death Record.
John H. Agar.
John H. Agar, familiarly known throughout the community as Jack Agar, is dead. Mr. Agar bravely fought against the relentless foe two years but gave up the unequal struggle at the noon hour on Friday. The direct cause of death was heart trouble although he had suffered from a complication of diseases for many months.
The deceased was 70 years. He is survived by one son, Frank Agar, and one daughter, Mrs. Fred. C. Marshall, one brother, Walter Agar, and two sisters, Mrs. P. McCaffrey of this city and Mrs. Mary Munro of Scranton.
Mr. Agar was member of the firm of Knights and Agar who several years ago conducted a foundry and machine shop on Walnut street. After the abandonment of the business, Mr. Agar retired from an active business life. A man of sterling integrity, good judgment and loyalty to principle. Mr. Agar made many friends retaining them until the end. He served several terms in city council and was a member of the old Cataract Fire company, the surviving members of which attended the funeral services conducted in the Church of the Immaculate Conception Monday morning at 9 o’clock. Interment was made in the Catholic cemetery.

John's obituary can also be found in the Democratic Watchman, Bellefonte, PA and another paper KG, on Feb 19, 1904.
