Fatal Heart attack Takes Life of Anthony Mabbitt.

Passed Away About 2 o'clock Monday p.m.

Funeral services are being held this Thursday afternoon for Anthony Mabbitt, pioneer Redfield resident, who died of a heart attack Monday afternoon, January 6, at his home near the old mill which has been associated with the Mabbitt and Eppard families ever since the town was started.

Mr. Mabbitt, who was past 80, had been failing slightly but still able to be about his work and apparently almost as active as ever and his usual cheery self. However on Christmas day he suffered a slight heart attack and had been warned by his doctor to take it easy. When the end came he was in his chair in the living room.

All of the children have come home for the last rites. Mr. and Mr. Clarence Mabbitt of Knoxville came immediately. Mrs. Ethel Harden and her daughter, who had spent the holidays here with her family and had left for her home in Wisconsin just the week before, arrived Tuesday and the Harry Mabbitt family of Washington, D. C. arrived Wednesday morning. Mrs. Violet Chilton came Wednesday night.

Mrs. Olive Hurd is in charge of the service at the local Christian Church and burial is being made at a family cemetery near Early Chapel south of Earlham.

A complete obituary will be printed next week.

Transcriber note: Burial at the Eppard Cemetery, Madison Co., Ia.
