Altoona Mirror June 1, 1907: JOHN SHADE, A well known resident of Leamersville, died at 3 o'clock Friday morning, aged over 80 years. He located at Leamersville in 1858 and followed the business of wagon making and was noted for strict honesty in his wares and dealings. There was a day when there were more wagons from his shop on the roads than from any other in Blair county. With advanced life came defective hearing which prevented his enjoyment of society. His latter years were spent in the retirement of his pleasant home.

N.[2] [3] [4] and Mrs. Jennie Knee, of Duncansville; Mrs. Linda and Mrs. Ellie Holland, of Newry; G. M.[5] [6] and M. B., at home. Mr. Shade was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, of McKee.
