Sudden Death – Last Sunday morning, the family of William Dysart was greatly startled at finding their father dead in his bed-chamber. It appears that Mr. Dysart had been visiting in the neighborhood during Saturday, and felt as well as usual for the past few weeks. On Sunday morning, the family arose at the usual hour and prepared breakfast; one of the daughters went to her father’s room to call him to breakfast, but found him sleeping the long sleep of death. Nothing is known of the time or manner of his departure. He has been afflicted for some time past with a dropsical affliction and was under treatment at the time of his death. The funeral took place at Chester, Monday at 10 a.m. – Lynnville News.
