A sudden death
The Rothville Bee says that that community was shocked Tuesday morning when the sad news was telephoned to town that J. W. Lyford had dropped dead at half past 6 o’clock, while waiting for his family to get into the buggy to go to the Brookfield fair.
Mr. Lyford has on exhibition at the fair each year, a collection of fine chickens and farm products, and as usual, he had everything ready Tuesday morning to take to the fair, but just as the family were leaving the house to get into the conveyshoe, his daughter, Miss Cecy, who was close to him, saw him stagger and fall to the ground. Medical aid was summoned, but before the doctor could get there he was dead. Heart failure was the cause of his sudden demise.
Mr. Lyford came to this county about 10 years ago from Iowa, and has for the past four years, resided on the Armstrong farm, three miles southeast of Rothville. He was a member of the Brookfield camp of Modern Woodmen of America and also the Royal Neighbors, in which orders he carried $4,000 life insurance.
He leaves to mourn his untimely death, a wife, four children, one adopted child and a host of friends. The Modern Woodmen of Brookfield had charge of the funeral, which was conducted yesterday. Burial took place in the Brookfield cemetery.
