DIED

LINEAS LAMB

Lineas Lamb was found dead at about 2 o'clock Monday morning in the corner of a sheep lot on the T.J. Mehlin farm north of Malcom. Mrs. Mehlin was a sister and he had been spending a few days helping to prepare for the farm sale which was held on the Mehlin farm yesterday. Death was due to angina pectoris. He had been in poor health for some time and had been warned by physicians that his death was likely to occur suddenly. Sunday night the family missed him as they were about to retire for the night. Search was made and the lifeless body was discovered. Mr. Lalmb was 51 years old.

Coroner J.H. Friend was notified and viewed the body, but as death was obviously due to natural causes he did not consider it necessary to hold an inquest.

The funeral was held at 2 o'clock this afternoon from the William Bolen home in the country northwest of Brooklyn. Interment was in Malcom.
