He has been poorly for the past year, but no one expected the serious result which happened Tuesday morning. He was stricken about midnight and one hour after he was pronounced dead by the physician. He was 44 years of age, and leaves his wife and five little children to mourn his demise. He also leaves an aged mother and two sisters who live in Luverne, Minnesota. The funeral services take place today in Unity church, Rev. J. R. Reynolds officiating.
