Lean Serfling Dead.
Lean Serfling, a well known resident of the vicinity of Granger, was found dead Monday night, death resulting from heart failure caused by epilepsy of which he was a victim. Early in the evening a neighbor phoned him that some lambs of his needed attention and he went to look after them. Not returning in a reasonable length of time, search for him was instituted and he was found dead where he had fallen near a straw pile. He was unmarried, the wife of a deceased brother keeping house for him. At one time, he was one of the proprietors of the Centennial meat market in Cresco. Mr. Serfling was a man respected by all his neighbors for his honesty, integrity and true manliness.
