COCHRANTON — James L. Christner of Cochranton died at 2:50 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013, at the Meadville Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, Meadville. He was 66.

James was born on May 4, 1946, in French Creek Township, Mercer County.

He was the son of Leland and Mary Ellen (Yoder) Christner, who preceded him in death.

Christner and his wife, Wilma, of Fairfield, Mont., Alice Gingerich and her husband, David, of Uniontown, Ohio, and Juanita Christner of Uniontown; and a number of nieces and nephews.
