Henry Twyford of Liberty township, dropped dead Tuesday afternoon, from heart disease. He had been slightly ailing for a while, but his death was altogether unexpected. The funeral was held at the church Wednesday, at ten o'clock in the presence of a large crowd of sympathizing friends. Mr Twyford was a pioneer of this county and one of Liberty township's most respected citizens. His death will cause a pall of sorrow among his many friends and acquaintances.

His children include: Mrs. Amanda McQuern, Mrs. Bitha Hoagland, Mrs. Florence Brim, Mrs. Estella Liggitt, Mrs. Lillie Love and Mrs. Lula Proudfoot.
