OBITUARY
AGED DRAYMAN STRICKEN WHILE WALKING ON STREET
Antoine LeDuc Fell Dead at Ludington and Dousman Following Attack of Heart Failure
LIVED HERE 40 YEARS
Victim Had Been Engaged in Draying Business For 28 Years and Was Known to Many People
Taken suddenly ill while walking on lower Ludington street early last night, Antoine LeDuc, a veteran drayman of the city living at 221 North Sarah street, passed away from an affection of the heart, it is believed, before a physician could reach his side.
Mr. LeDuc worked all day yesterday and last night, was walking to the Stephenson dock to meet the boat on which his little daughter Mamie was to arrive from Gladstone when he was suddenly stricken.
Pedestrians on the street at Ludington and Dousman saw him stagger as if faint and then collapsed falling to the sidewalk.
Although a physician was quickly summoned it was found that death had come instantly and nothing could be done by the physicians who were called.
Coroner L.O. Kirstine was called and after making a preliminary examination, allowed the body to be removed to the undertaking rooms of J.A. Allo where it will be prepared for burial.
Today the body will be removed to the home of the family and definite arrangements for the funeral will be made.
Mr. LeDuc had lived in Escanaba for the past 40 years and being engaged in the draying business for 28 years was known to a great host of people to whom the announcement of his death will come as a great shock.
Mr. LeDuc worked as usual yesterday on his dray and made no complaint last night of feeling ill when he left home. It was known however that he was suffering from a chronic affection of the heart and it is believed that it was that disease which brought about his sudden death. Coroner Kirstine will hold an inquest over the body this morning.
Mr. LeDuc is survived by his wife, two sons and one daughter, the surviving children being William LeDuc of this city, Wilfred LeDuc of McFarland and Mamie LeDuc of this city.
