SUFFERS STROKE WHILE TALKING TO SALESMAN

OSAGE, IOWA - Henry Tollefson, 76, farmer near St. Ansgar, suffered a fatal heart attack while transacting business at the Johnson plumbing and heating shop Tuesday.

Mr. Tollefson had accompanied his son Clifford Tollefson, also of St. Ansgar, to Osage earlier in the day to attend to business matters. He had not complained of feeling ill.

While talking to a salesman, Mr. Tollefson collapsed without any warning, and a doctor was summoned immediately, but death was apparently instantaneous.
