THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
DEATH OF CORP. W. F. WINTER.
F. A. Winter, the well-known dealer of
Altoona, Pa., has the sympathy of a host of
friends in the loss which he and his family
have sustained in the death on Friday of
last week of his son, Corporal Walter F.
Winter, who served with Company A, Forty-
third Volunteers, in the Philippines. Death
was caused by brain trouble resulting from
a sunstroke received on the Island of Samar
while he was in active service. Corporal
Winter was incapacitated for duty, but re-
turned with his regiment to Altoona. When
he reached here he was too ill to participate
in the home-coming celebration.
Seven weeks ago he was taken to a hos-
pital in Philadelphia, but after three weeks
he improved a little and was brought home.
He had grown weaker since his return, but
his death came as a terrible shock to his
family, by whom he was dearly beloved.
Corporal Winter was twenty-five years old,
and besides his parents he is survived by
the following brothers and sisters: Arthur,
Henry, Lewis, Paul, Edith, Marie and Chris-
tian.
Corporal Winter served throughout the
Philippine campaign and was promoted to
be corporal for meritorious service. He was
greatly esteemed by his officers and com-
rades, his manly qualities and kind heart
winning for him the admiration and fellow-
ship of all who came in contact with him.
The funeral was held on last Sunday after-
noon from the house. Rev. R. B. Beattie
officiated and the members of the Forty-third
Regiment acted as pall-bearers. Every pos-
sible respect was shown to the memory of
the deceased, while the sympathy of the com-
munity has gone out to Mr. and Mrs. Win-
ter. It is noteworthy that F. A. Winter is
also an old soldier, having served with dis-
tinction in the Civil War.
THOMAS WITH CLUETT.
Arthur E. Thomas, who for a number of
years was connected with Wm. A. Pond &
Co., in this city, as head salesman, is now
in charge of Cluett & Sons music depart-
ment in Albany. Mr. Thomas, or "John
Drew," as people call him, is a New Yorker
and the son of J. R. Thomas, an old-time
oratorio singer and a composer whose charm-
ing songs bring tender recollections to many.
CARPENTER CO ENLARGING FACTORY
Additions in factory facilities have become
a necessity with the E. P. Carpenter Co.,
Brattleboro, Yt., in order to cope with the
orders which are reaching them in increased
numbers these days. They expect to occupy
their new addition before the first of the
year. The growth of this business speaks
volumes for the fine instruments which they
are placing on the market.
HENRY F. MILLER PIANO BURNED UP.
The New England Building, one of the
handsomest structures at the Pan-American
Exposition, was destroyed by fire on Satur-
day night, including its contents. A very
handsome Henry F. Miller & Sons piano,
with other valuable furnishings, were also
eaten up by the flames.
