Edward Tulk Is Found Dead

----------

Edward Tulk, farm resident northwest of Mt. Pleasant was found dead in bed at 9:40 this morning at his home by Russell Ross and Leslie Scarff, who had gone to the farm.

Ross, who recently bought the farm had been doing some repair work there Thursday afternoon and visited with Mr. Tulk about 4:30. When Ross went back to the farm Friday morning, he could get no response at the house and later entrance was made through a window.

Death evidently was from a heart attack and Coroner Hugh Dallner said that no inquest is planned.

Mrs. Tulk died two years ago on January 17, 1952.

Surviving are a son, Marvin, of Long Grove, and two daughters, Florence Schuman of near Independence, and Edna of California.

The body was taken to the Crane Funeral Home.
