Lifeless Body of James Malone Found Near His Home.

On Saturday morning it was rumored about town that James Malone, a well-known and prosperous farmer living about a mile this side of Cottonville, had been killed by a bolt of lightning during the storm the afternoon previous while planting corn in his field. Later reports, however, set aside the rumor that lightening had caused his death, but that heart failure had done the deadly work. Mr. Malone was planting corn when the storm came up and had unhitched his team from the planter and was driving the horses to the barn some rods distant. The family noticed the team nearing the home, but that no driver was with them and began an immediate search for Mr. Malone, whose lifeless body was found some time later.
Dr. Heneke of Bellevue was called and stated the heart trouble was undoubtedly the cause of his death and that he had not been struck by lightning as was first supposed by the family. Deceased was a man of honesty and integrity, quiet and unassuming in disposition a great lover of home and family, a splendid neighbor and a true friend. Mr. Malone is survived by his wife and eight children. The funeral was held Monday from St. Lawrence’s Church at Otter Creek. Interment was made in the Otter Creek cemetery.
