REMSEN MAN DIES OF HEART FAILURE
Barney Gotto, Remsen Farmer Dies Suddenly At Midnight

Barney Gotto, 46 year old farmer living 8 miles southwest of Remsen, was
suddenly stricken by death Wednesday night near midnight. Apparently in the
best of health early in the evening, he had been talking with friends
regarding the destructive hail and wind storms, and a rumor which has not
been verified stated that the exertion and grief concerning the storm had
contributed to his death.

Mr. Gotto retired early, and about 11 rose to walk across the room. He
collapsed and his family carried him to bed and called a doctor from Remsen,
but he passed away before the doctor arrived.

The deceased was 46 years of age, and had been a resident of Remsen for the
past 4 years. He came to Remsen from Colorado and settled on the old Pierce
farm SE of Remsen.

He leaves to mourn his loss his wife and 8 children. At the present time no
funeral arrangements have been made.
