Very Sudden Death.

Mr. A. M. Herrell, of Scott township, was found dead in bed Saturday morning by his wife, it afterward being ascertained that he died with neuralgia of the heart. The family had company Friday and at night Mr. Herrell retired, going to bed with a young man who worked for him, his wife sleeping with her sister, Miss Ella Hobson. Mrs. Herrell was up with her husband once or twice during the night, as he was complaining with pain. She thought nothing much of it, however, and retired, little dreaming of the sorrow which would be her lot in the morning. Mr. Herrell was an early riser, and not being up early Saturday morning his wife went to his room to awaken him and to her horror found him cold and stiff in death, and the young man with whom he retired sound asleep by his side.

Deceased was thirty-seven years old. He was married to Miss Hattie Hobson, daughter of J. M. Hobson, of this city, two years ago. The funeral occurred at Zion church Sunday afternoon.
