Last Sunday morning when Mr. True, and old gentleman who lived in a small house on the farm of Mrs. Masters, northeast of town, failed to come to breakfast as usual, that lady went to his door and attempted to arouse him. Failing in the attempt she telephoned to his son, D. W. True, living about a half a mile distant, who immediately drove over and going to the house pushed open the door which was fastened by a button on the inside, and discovered his father lying in bed dead. His eyes were closed as though he had gently passed away in his sleep. His room showed that upon retiring he had made arrangements for his usual morning bath, and everything went to show that death had called him and he answered without a struggle.
