'Shorty' Hanley Dies; Was Unique Salesman of Tribune

James F. (Shorty) Hanley, one of Johnstown's best-known characters, died last night. He had resided at the home of his son, E. Leroy Hanley, 722 Barclay St., Kernville, since last December, and had not been well for some time. He had, however, been able to be about the house until he became bedfast during the past week. He was in his 70th year.

A mill worker in years past, Mr. Hanley had, for many years, been a salesman extraordinary of The Tribune on downtown streets. He had developed a unique phraseology that introduced the latest issue of the paper.

A short, stocky figure, engaging in banter with passersby, "Shorty" Hanley was probably Johnstown's foremost unofficial weather prognosticator, giving free forecasts with his newspaper sales, and never failing to offer advice on future weather, often with unique interpretations. His ready responses made him a conversational delight to hundreds who encountered him in the course of his newspaper sales.

Mr. Hanley was born in BlairCounty on Oct. 22, 1876, a son of David and Rose Ann (Lynn) Hanley, both deceased. His wife, the former Annie Robison, preceded him in death. Surviving are two sons -- E. Leroy, mentioned, and Walter James Hanley, Mineral Point -- and one grandchild, Patricia Louise, daughter of Walter Hanley. The deceased was a brother of Roy Hanley, 752 Railroad St.; Irvin, Buffalo, N.Y.; Clyde, Pittsburgh; Mrs. Maude Bennett and Mrs. Jane Strausser, both of Pittsburgh, and Mrs. Grace Slocum, Washington, D.C.

Friends will be received at the Kennedy Funeral Home after 7 p.m. today. Funeral arrangements are incomplete.
