Sudden Death.

Calmar Courier:--A sad affair occurred last Monday that will break up a home, and was a great shock to the relatives as well as the community.
At about four o’clock on that day Wm. Speicher came home from his cream route and found his wife cold in death lying on the kitchen floor with her week’s washing partly finished. The barking of the dog brought Mr. Speicher to the door and on going in found his wife as above stated. She was at home along during the day and nine o’clock that morning was the last time she was seen alive by neighbors.
She had been treating for heart trouble, and it was undoubtedly heart trouble that caused her death. She leaves a husband, daughter and many other relatives to mourn her sudden demise.
