Death From Paralysis
Laskewitz, D.

Mr. D. Laskewitz, aged 77 years, died quite suddenly at his home near Killduff last Sunday evening. About a week before, while the old gentleman was in the field assisting the boys about their work, he became overheated, and soon after returning to the house he was found lying on the floor, unable to speak or move, having been stricken with paralysis, in which condition he continued until death came Sunday morning. He leaves a wife, five sons and two daughters. The interment was in the Galesburg (Hewitt) Cemetery on Wednesday.
