Joseph McGowan dropped dead on the platform of the Dexter depot about noon yesterday. He had come to take the train for Kansas, intending to visit his daughter. Having been ill for some time it was necessary to make a bed on the bottom of the buggy and bring him to town that way, as he insisted. The exertion necessary in getting out of the buggy was too great and heart failure caused him to drop dead as he stepped from the buggy. The funeral was conducted by Rev. English and the Masons of which fraternity he was a member, at Penn Center, Thursday at 1 p.m.
