The animal laid down in his stall and was found dead. Bob had been driven for years by Captain Sammons as he made trips to the Life Saving Station or into town. He would allow none but the Captain to feed and take care of him. Captain Sammons was so shocked by the sudden death of a niece that he died of heart failure last week , and Bob at once seemed to know that his master was dead. Several veterinarians were called in but careful examination did not reveal any disease. Finally the doctor announced that in his belief the horse was dying from a broken heart. Bob was buried near the Life Saving Station. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com
