ZINN, John

MEYERSDALE, Nov. 19 — John Zinn, 62 years old, of this city, was found dead in his automobile in his garage on Tuesday morning, death being attributed to apoplexy, although an inquest was to be conducted late today by Dr. Kimmel, Somerset county coroner, in an effort to determine whether carbon monoxide might have been the cause. The body of Mr. Zinn was found by his wife, who became alarmed after her husband had failed to return home after stating that he was going to the garage Monday night to work on the car. Mrs. Zinn found the garage doors open and the lights of the car still burning and then discovered her husband's lifeless form on the front seat of the machine. His face was badly swollen which was thought to be an indication that he had died from a stroke of apoplexy. Mr. Zinn was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry Zinn and was born in Mt. Savage, Md. He came to Meyersdale with his parents when two years old and had resided here practically all his life. He taught school when a young man and was employed by the B. & O. railroad in a clerical position for several years. For seven years he had charge of a store for the Quemahoning Coal Company at Stoyestown. For the last two years Mr. Zinn and his wife had made their home with the latter' s mother, Mrs. Henry Khus, North Street. The deceased leaves his widow and two sisters, Mrs. Frank Woy, of Somerset, and Mrs. Emma Ridinger of Pittsburg. The funeral will be held Thursday at 4 o'clock with services at the late residence, in charge of Rev. J. Luther Frantz, pastor of the local Lutheran Church. Interment will be in Union cemetery.
