Earlham Echoes

Benjamin Pearson, who has been in poor health for some years past, was sitting under a shade tree Friday evening and fell over dead. He lacked but two days of being 78 years old. He was living with his daughter, Mrs. Stanford, west of town. This makes three sudden deaths in this vicinity lately, two of them occurring in one week.
