After Hard Fight death claims J.H. Engle- was thought to be getting well but a turn for the worse came suddenly.-Was prominent in business-had done much to promote industries in Indiana - A large property holder.-The Funeral on Wednesday- The many friends of John Huvis Engle will be very sorry to hear of his eath which occurred at his home on School Street at 5:45 o'clock Sunday evening. After a long, hard fight for six weeks he succumbed to a simple continued fever with complications. Mr. Engle first took sick about the middle of last December. Dr. G. E. Simpson was summoned, and in a day or so . Dr. Purington was called in for consulation with Dr. Simpson. For sometimes Mr. Engle hovered between life and death, and then slowly improved for a time. Up until noon on Sunday, it was thought he was steadily improving, but about one o'clock he began to grow weaker and at 5:45, quietly passed away.
The deceased was born in Green township on April 21, 1855, and there spent part of his life, being engaged in lumbering. He was married to Miss Margaret Kerr, of Indiana.
In 1892 he moved to Indiana where he was engaged in the lumber business, having bought the lumber yards on Railroad Ave. and School street, which he conducted until he was taken sick. In 1894, two years after coming to Indiana, his wife died very suddenly. On July 31, 1901, Mr. Engle married Miss Clara E. Lapsely, of Blairsville, who survives him.
The deceased was one of the best-known and most successful business men of Indiana. Besides his lumber business, he was a stock-holder in the Woolen Mills, the Clymer Manufacturing Company, the Carriage Company, and The Robisnteen Horse Collar Company. He was also a director in the Saving & Trust Co., of Indiana.
Mr. Engle was a man who made friends of all who came in contact with him. Genial, yet unobtrusive, kind and unselfish to an exceptional degree, he had done more, possible, to put young men in the way of business and success than any other resident of Indiana. He had accumulated much valuable real estate and coal. He died possessed of a large acreage of timber land in the west.
Besides his wife and his son, Harvey, he is survived by his mother, Mrs. Rachael Engle; a sister, Miss Ida; seven brothers - Henry, of Indiana; William, of Brushvalley, and five who are in the west.
Mr. Engle was an attendant of the Presyterian church, althrough not a member. He was a member of the Elk's lodge, and of the Borough council from the Second ward.
The funeral will be held on Wednesday afternoon at 1:30. Interment will be made in Greenwood cemetery.

He had a cousin named John Hovis Engle, too. See memorial #75467183.Giles Henry, Della Card and Catherine Irene are buried on the same lot with John H and Clara E
