Parsons, W. Va.- Mathias Arbogast, 73, a Tucker County woodsman, was found dead yesterday in a cabin on the farm of Emerson E. Hinkle, of Mackeyville about four miles east of here, where he lived alone.
The time of death was set at October 25, and sheriff A. Smith Hockman who investigated, said he evidently died of a heart attack.
Hinkle, who discovered the body, said he had last seen Mr. Arbogast alive when he helped the elderly man repair the cabin a week ago last Friday.
Assisting in the investigation were Justice of the Peace, Laurence Lipscomb; Dr. F. K. Lyons, health officer; and Constable Sampson Pennington.
According to Hinkle, Mr. Arbogast had lived in the cabin several months.
He was a native of Randolph County and worked as a woodsman most of his life.
A sister, Mrs. Hattie Lantz, of Hendricks, is the only known survivor.
Services were held yesterday afternoon in the Greenlief Funeral Home, here, followed by interment in Fansler Cemetery, at Hendricks.
