    • Rev. George E. Limbert. – After an illness of seven weeks as a result of diphtheria and its after effects the Rev. George Elias Limbert, pastor of the Trinity Reformed church, of Altoona, died in that city at 9.30 o’clock Monday morning. For six days preceding his death he had been in a very critical condition, though he was conscious until the end.
      Deceased was born at Madisonburg, Centre county, December 20th, 1865. He was the son of Henry J. and Caroline Limbert, who were most estimable residents of that place. After he had become a member of the Reformed church, which was at the ages of twenty years, he decided to study for the ministry. He was active in the religious work while a pupil in the Spring Mills school in his native county, and later entered college at Lancaster, graduating in 1890, with high honors. He then entered the theological seminary and graduated from there in 1893. Afterwards he went to Grove City, at which place he was ordained, organized a congregation from a mission and remained its head for seven years. During that time he charge prospered and many new members were added to the roll. From Grove City he went to Danville, remaining nearly six years. May 3rd, 1905, he went to Altoona as pastor of Trinity Reformed church, succeeding the Rev. Lewis Robb. He did good work among his congregation and had endeared himself greatly to the members.
      Rev. Limbert was one of the most popular as well as prominent ministers in the Reformed church and was a man who had many friends. He was ever thoughtful for the welfare of others and even in the last hours of his life, when he knew that death was near, he endeavored by counsel and prayer to prepare those around him for the last great day.
      He is survived by his wife and one son, Paul, at home; his aged mother, at the old home in Madisonburg, with one sister and four brothers, as follows; Annie, William and Daniel, of Madisonburg; Harvey, of Pittsburg, and Alfred, living in eastern Ohio.
      Funeral services were held in the church over which he had been pastor, at 8 o’clock Wednesday evening, and were conducted by his fellow ministers in the Mountain city. Yesterday the remains were shipped through Bellefonte to Madisonburg, to the home of his mother, from where the funeral will be held this morning, internment to be in the Reformed church cemetery.
