A wide circle of relatives and long time friends were shocked and saddened by the unexpected death of L.J. Heusted of Broughton yesterday. While he had not been in the best of health for some time. Mr. Heusted had been around as usual, and Saturday evening joked with Henry Reboul and other friends at Broughton. He retired about his regular time that night and apparently went to sleep. At 4 o'clock in the morning he went in to see Mrs. Heusted, who is an invalid.
However, he did not respond when he was called at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, and it was then discovered that he had passed away in his sleep, sometime after 4 o'clock.
Surviving Mr. Heusted are his invalid companion of more than fifty years; four sons; Leland of Detroit, Mich., Harry of McFarland, Warren of Clay Center , and Charles of Coffeyville; three daughters; Mrs. George Dietrich of Broughton, Mr.s Paul Shipp of Manhattan and Miss Marjorie Heusted of Garden Grove, Calif.; one sister, Mrs. Margaret Kamphaus of Clay Center, also a number of grandchildren and one great grandchild, other relatives and a host of friends.

He was born in Oakland county, Michigan, December 31, 1869, and came to Kansas with his parents before he was a year old. He has lived in Clay county more than seventy years, really grew up with the country. He served as rural letter carrier on the Broughton route for many years retiring about three years ago. Genial and friendly, everybody knew him and liked him.
No definite funeral arrangement have been made, awaiting the arrival of the children and other relatives. Miss Marjorie Heusted makes her home with her uncle an daunt, Mr. Na Mrs. Charles Edwards at Garden Grove, Calif., and they will accompany her to Clay Center.
