Davenport, Scott, Iowa Friday, Mar 1, 1907 JAMESTOWN MAN DIES SUDDENLY

Andrew Murray While Purchasing Pair of Shoes Falls Over Dead

Was in a Good Humor and Joking a Few Minutes Before With His Friends at the Store. Quite a commotion was caused Thursday afternoon at Jamestown at about 3 o'clock when Andrew Murray, one of the oldest citizens of that place dropped over dead in E.G. Langwith's general store. Heart trouble is thought to have been the cause. Coroner Lambach of Davenport has been notified and will investigate the case. Until then no funeral arrangements will be made. Early in the afternoon Mr. Murray was attending a sale and was enjoying the best of health and laughing and joking with his friends. On his way home he had stopped in a store to look at a pair of shoes and it was while looking at these that he suddenly exclaimed, "Oh," and sank in the floor. Ernst Buergel was standing by and caught the man as he was falling. A few minutes later he expired. He was a man about 65 years of age and had been a resident of Jamestown all his life. His family consists of two sons and three daughters.
