Dan Horan Dies Suddenly.
Dan Horan passed away very suddenly at his home near Plymouth Rock on Sunday evening. He was in his usual health, having attended church at Plymouth Rock during the day, and had seated himself at the supper table and was in the act of drinking a cup of tea when he was seized with an intense pain in the right side of his head, just above the ear. The pain gradually progressed downward to his heart and he passed away at about nine o’clock before the arrival of Dr. Kessel, who had been summoned. Mr. Horan had always been seemingly a stout, healthy man for his age and good for many more years of life, and consequently his quick demise is a surprise and shock to the community.
The funeral takes, place to-morrow at the Plymouth Rock Church.
