Again we are shocked by another sudden death in our neighborhood. Wednesday morning Jacob Anderson passed away almost instantly. He had been very sick this spring, but was in his usual good health for the last few weeks past. He got up the morning he died and was getting ready for breakfast when suddenly he fell over and when they carried him in he lived only a few moments. He was an old man, in his 87th year. We have not the particulars as yet. This makes four deaths in that family in less than five years. And strange to say, four weddings in that time also. Our sympathies are extended to the bereaved ones.
