DEATH OF DR. BARNETT, SUMMERHILL.

From Saturday's Johnstown Tribune: Dr. W. A. Barnett, a practicing physician, died 
at his home in Summerhill at twenty minutes after 4 o'clock Friday morning, of 
enteritis.  He received the attention of Dr. Blaisdell, of Wilmore, up to Wednesday 
night, when Dr. D. W. Evans, of this city, was called as consulting physician.  He 
and Dr. Blaisdell from that time were unremitting in their attention, but without 
avail.  Dr. Barnett was probably 30 years of age.  He leaves a wife, formerly Miss 
Davis, of Burnside, Clearfield county, and two children.  He practiced for a time 
at Burnside prior to locating at Summerhill.  The remains will be taken by rail 
tomorrow to Cresson, whence they will be conveyed overland to St. Augustine, 
where interment will be made.  The deceased was a member of the Catholic church.
