Noah Letts, the father of the Letts boys who conduct large wholesale houses in Marshalltown, (Ia.) and St. Joseph, Mo., died suddenly at his home in Letts Monday morning. He was about 80 years of age and had been a resident of Letts for about six years. About 10 days ago he was taken ill and was found on the floor in a unconscious condition. His son, John, of Chicago was called. Mr. Letts, however, rallied and seemingly was rapidly recovering. Later he was threatened with pneumonia but had recovered from the effects of it. Monday morning, after eating a hearty breakfast he suddenly became unconscious and died within a short time. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the Methodist church in Letts. Interment was made in Marshalltown.
