Thomas Petska of Rosecrans, aged 60, who died of heart disease, was buried at Green Street Saturday.
Mr. Petska, who was a blacksmith by trade for many years, had lately retired, his son succeeding him in his work. He was never sick and being a rugged man his death was a great shock. While on his way from the shop to the house, he got as far as the doorway, when he fell over, death being instantaneous.
He was well known in this town and his death is an affliction to many.
