William A. Mccartney

William A. McCartney, 92, of Guys Mills, died Monday afternoon at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Albert Heinlein of Erie, after a long illness.

He spent most of his life in the Guys Mills area where he was a well-known farmer.  He and his wife for many years cultivated an extensive flower garden.

A lifelong Republican, he reportedly never missed an election.  He got out of a sick bed to vote in last November's general election.

Survivors are four daughters, Mrs. Walter Burchard of Guys Mills, Mrs. Heinlein and Mrs. Frank Peelman, both of Erie and Mrs. Herschel Longberry of Townville; thirteen grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren.

Services were held at Waid Funeral Home.

Interment was in Hatch Cemetery, Guys Mills.
