Notes
Death
W. Hewitt ISENBERG
Many hearts were saddened in Huntingdon last evening when it became known that W. Hewitt ISENBERG, of 1021 Washington street, had passed away. Mr. ISENBERG had the great misfortune to fall recently and break his hip and had since been a patient in the J. C. Blair Memorial Hospital, where death occurred on Friday evening, June 4, 1937, at 7:10 o'clock. He was the son of Benjamin and Anna Mary ISENBERG both deceased, and was born in Porter township, Huntingdon county, on October 2, 1853. At the time of death he was aged 83 years, 7 months and 2 days.
On December 14, 1875, he was united in marriage to Katherine SMITH of Orbisonia, who departed this life on February 25, 1919. To this union fourteen children were born. Early in life Mr. ISENBERG united with the Christ Reformed Church of
Alexandria and served faithfully in the Sunday school and church as superintendent, secretary, teacher and Deacon. In 1905 he moved to Huntingdon and immediately affiliated with the Abbey Church and served most faithfully as a teacher, Deacon and as an Elder. Mr. ISENBERG does not remember ever missing any Holy Communion services.
Several years ago the State Sabbath School Association honored Mr. ISENBERG by presenting him with a gold medal for his fifty years of service in Sunday school work. He was not only faithful in his church duties but served his community most loyally. Porter township honored Mr. ISENBERG by electing him as a school director for three terms. After nine years in that capacity Mr. ISENBERG resigned.
He leaves to mourn his passing the following children: Emory N. ISENBERG, Martin U. ISENBERG, B. Frank ISENBERG, James S. ISENBERG, Paul Z. ISENBERG, Margaretta, wife of Adam L. HOFFMAN, E. Hoy ISENBERG, all of Huntingdon, A. Porter ISENBERG, of Altoona, Belle, wife of John GLASS, of Beaver Falls, Carl W. ISENBERG, of Campbelltown and Ella, wife of Calvin D. UTLEY, of Hesston.
