Stephen PYLE, 68, well known Rochester township farmer dropped dead this afternoon at his home two miles west of this city on the Burton road while sowing clover seed. Mr. Pyle's lifeless body was found by his widow who at 1 p.m. happened to see the form of her husband lying on the ground while looking through a window of their home. Death according to Coroner ZIMMERMAN was caused by heart trouble from which disease the deceased had suffered for several years.
Mr. Pyle had just finished the third round of sowing clover seed in a field within a 10 yards of his home and had gone to the sack containing the seed to refill his feeder when he suffered the fatal heart attack. David WOLFE who lives on the adjoining farm saw Mr. Pyle's body lying on the ground as he was driving to this city but thought he had just set down to rest.
Mr. Wolfe talked with Mr. Pyle at 11:45 a.m. at which time he told him that he was going to seed clover during the afternoon. It is thought the rather warm weather today might have super-induced the heart attack. Mr. Pyle was in Rochester Monday at which time he purchased the clover seed. He had apparently been in good health.
Mr. Pyle was born on a farm two miles southwest of Rochester, being the son of Mr. and Mrs. James PYLE. He has lived his entire life in this county. By occupation he was a farmer but at one time operated a hardware store in this city with his brothers. This establishment was later sold to STONER and BLACK.
The member of the Young Mothers widow who was Miss Dora ROBBINS a sister Mrs. Mary GOSS, and a brother Charles [PYLE] both of this city. [sic] Mr. Pyle was a member of the Gleaners Lodge and the Methodist Church of this city.
No funeral arrangements will be made pending word from relatives who live in California, who are believed to be enroute to this city to spend the summer.
