The next morning he was late getting up, and his sister going to call him was horrified to find him cold and lifeless. The cause of his death is supposed to be from heart disease. His funeral took place on sunday under the King David Lodge of Dunbar, General Worth Lodge of Odd Fellows, of Connellsville and Improved Order of Red Men of Connellsville. The deceased was 37 yrs old . He possessed a genial social disposition and many warm friends with whom he associated in life will sadly miss his pleasant greetings. The members of the secret organisations with which he was connected showed their appreciation of his standing by turning out in large numbers to pay their tribute and respect to his memory.
