Sudden Death For Earl Iblings

Earl Iblings died suddenly in the Sentman store in Wellsburg shortly after eleven o'clock last Thursday. He was stricken with a heart attack. He had been afflicted with a weak heart for a number of years and was told by his doctor to refrain from any exertion, not even that of driving a car. He was taken to Wellsburg Thursday by members of his family for a check-up by Dr. Kienzle. The doctor was away on a sick call and it was while waiting for him to return that he was stricken suddenly and collapsed on the floor of the store, and death was instantaneous. In the absence of a doctor the body was left where it fell until a doctor from Grundy Center arrived to pronounce the man dead. Coroner Harold Engelkes from Grundy Center was called and he removed the body to the Engelkes funeral home at Grundy Center.

Funeral services were held at the home in Holland early Monday afternoon and later at the Christian Reformed church. Rev. Henry Petersen officiated at the service. Burial was in the Holland cemetery.
