Sudden Death of Young Farmer

Tom O Wicks, a young farmer living six miles north east of Roland, died suddenly Sunday evening from an attack of heart trouble.

Mr. Wicks, age about 35 years, had not been in the best of health of late, but had been up and around on Sunday looking after his work as usual. On Sunday evening about 8 o'clock he suffered a sudden attack of heart trouble and passed away before medical aid could be summoned.

Mr. Wicks leaves a wife and one child, a father and mother and a number of brothers and sisters.

Funeral services were held this afternoon from the Bergen church.
