Funeral services were held this afternoon in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for A.D. Endsley, 78, who served for 40 years as superintendent of the Tarentum school system.
Burial followed in a Fort Lauderdale cemetery.
Mr. Endsley died in Fort Lauderdale Hospital Saturday morning at 1 following a collapse last Wednesday.
Death was due to a condition from which he had suffered for five years. He had undergone surgery twice within the last three years. He showed some improvement after an operation in April of 1952 and until last Wednesday had been able to go about in reasonable comfort. He and Mrs. Endsley, the former Miss Elva Lardin, a teacher in the Tarentum schools, attended church services on the Sunday before his death.
Mr. and Mrs. Endsley had lived in Fort Lauderdale since his retirement in 1942.
Mrs. W.J. (Jane) Kenney, of Pittsburgh, a daughter, flew to Fort Lauderdale last Thursday after receiving word of her father’s collapse. A son, R. Gray Endsley, of Tarentum, arrived during the weekend.
Mr. Endsley, recognized as one of Pennsylvania’s foremost educators, came to Tarentum in 1900 as a high school teacher following his graduation from Wooster College, 1898. Later he became principal of high school and then head of the school system. His entire career was spent in Tarentum.
Throughout the years of his residence in Tarentum, Mr. Endsley took an active interest in church and community affairs. He was a member of First Presbyterian Church and a member of the board of Allegheny Valley YMCA.
In addition to his widow and children, Mr. Endsley leaves three grandchildren and one sister, Mrs. Frank Crawford, Mount Pleasant Michigan.
