Huntzinger, Jacob K. - 1881

The Reaper Death.
Albert Huntzinger.

On Tuesday of last week J. Albert Huntzinger, a son of Jacob Huntzinger, aged 33 years, died in Philadelphia after a protracted illness.  At the time that the Miner’s Trust Company, in Pottsville, closed its doors, Albert held the position of cashier, and somewhat later he was charged of being implicated with his father in defrauding Thomas F. Kerns, one of the depositors of the bank.  The case was brought up in the Berks County Court, where both were found guilty and sentenced to two years imprisonment.  At the expiration of his term, Albert returned to his family in Philadelphia, very much prostrated in mind and body.  He led a wretched existence until death had compassion on him and relieved him of his burden “here below”.
