ORA FOREST FEATHER 1876 - 1906
Obituary
Ora F. Feather, brakeman on the Pennsylvania Railroad running from Pittsburg to Altoona, was killed Tuesday, Mary 15th at 3.35 a.m. Had he lived four more days he would have been 30 years old. It is not definitely known how he was killed, his body being found along the track some time after his train passed. But supposition is that he lost his balance and fell to the ground, the fall causing instant death. His body was out of reach of the wheels and was not mangled.
His death was a sad blow to his whole family, and most especially to his invalid mother, who was almost prostrated with grief. His untimely death is doubly sad because the fact that on June 27th he was to have been married and his betrothed is heartbroken over her great sorrow.
The funeral services were conducted at his late home in Mt. Lake Park, on Friday May 18th at 2 p.m. and interment at the Oakland cemetery at 4 p.m. The funeral address was delivered by Rev. J. B. Workman, of Oakland, followed by brief addresses by Revs. H. E. Friend and P. W. Metheny. Dr. W. W. Davis was also present and assisted in the services. Interspersed with the other services the choir sang, "Nearer My God to Thee," "Jesus Lover of My Soul," "Asleep to Jesus" and "Sweet Will of God."
Besides a great concourse of friends from Mt. Lake Park and vicinity, there were several friends from the Cranesville, Terra Alta and other points where he was known.
Ora was an excellent young man, well respected and well liked by all who knew him.
