Last Civil War Veteran Dies At Gallitzin
David C. Plowman, aged 98, a native of Blair county but for many years residing at Gallitzin and the last Civil war veteran in Cambria county, died this morning at 4.30 o'clock at the home of his son, Edward Plowman, in Gallitzin.

He was born in Dry Run, Blair county, Feb. 2, 1847, and enlisted in the Union army at the age of 17 and served to the close of the war and was present at Appomattox Court House when Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered the Confederate armies to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant.
He was twice married, but both wives preceded him in death. Surviving are four children, Edward of Gallitzin, Forrest of Delmont, Pa., Clyde of Cokeville and Charles of Vandergrift, and three stepdaughters, Mrs. Bessie Griffith of Wilkinsburg and Mrs. Ann Stancliffe and Mrs. Taylor, both of Verona.
Also surviving are two sister, Mrs. Sue Stoner and Catherine, both of Altoona.
