Another Sudden Death – a letter from Miss Rose Townsend to her parents tells of the sudden death of old Uncle Billy Ozmun, who lives just across the line in Story county, and who is well known to many of our people. On Wednesday, he had been down to his farm sowing grass seed, and after supper took his lantern and started for town. He got as far as John Ozmun’s where he fell dead, and was not discovered until the next day. A post mortem examination showed that he died from heart disease.
