He suffered a heart attack a week previous from which he never recovered. His children were with him throughout his short illness, and were a comfort to him. He was conscious to the last and peacefully went to meet his maker. Beside the children he leaves to mourn his passing two sisters, Mrs. Sarah Worth of Monroe, Mrs. Mae Graves of Chariton. There are also 20 grandchildren besides a host of neighbors and friends who will feel a deep loss in his passing from this life.
