- Last Monday morning Mr. B. went out
and did his chores and came in and ate
- breakfast apparently as well as common.
After breakfast he went up to his son-in-law's, Geo. SAUNDERS,

to his head and fell. Mr. SAUNDERS standing by caught
him and carried him into the house where he passed away in just
a few minutes. Mr. B. leaves four daughters and a son to mourn
their loss. [Thursday edition, p. 1]
