                               Thomas Plummer
Thomas Plummer, the aged watchman who was killed on the Pennsylvania 
Railroad, near the Summerhill Station last evening (1/18/1897), was 
born February 27, 1829, at the old homestead in Croyle Township, where 
his brother Samuel now resides. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Plummer 
died there many years ago.
He was married in the Roman Catholic Church at Wilmore, in 1856, to May 
Clark, who was born and raised in the vicinity of Summerhill. Rev. 
Father Thomas Walsh performed the ceremony.
Thomas Plummer was a brother of Joseph Plummer, of Altoona; Samuel of 
Croyle Township; Mrs. Madge Litzinger of Gallitzin; and Mrs. Peter 
Brown and Mrs. John Griffith, of Summerhill.
His surviving children are: William, of Pittsburgh; Kate, wife of Peter 
Yarner, and Elizabeth, wife of William Sate, of Summerhill; Misses 
Cecilia, Bridget, and Lenore, who are at home; Sylvester of South Fork; 
Joseph, Clark and Earl at home. He is also survived by his wife.
Joseph, who is about twenty years of age, is ill of consumption, and is 
lying in critical condition at his home. Thomas Plummer, a son of the 
deceased, was killed about seven years ago on the Pennsylvania Railroad 
at South Fork. He was a brakeman, and his run was between Derry and 
Altoona.
The remains will be taken on Altoona Accomodation on Thursday morning 
to Wilmore, where requiem mass will be said by father James Graven, of 
the Ehrenfeld Catholic Church, of which Mr. Plummer was a member. 
Interment will be made in the church graveyard at Wilmore.
