James Dewlin (sic) Passes Away
James Dewlin, aged 70 years and two months, died suddenly of heart failure,
brought on by the excessive heat, Monday evening at his home about five
miles north east of this city where he owned a large tract of land. He
had suffered for some time with heat complication and had been active during
the afternoon preparing for threshers. About 6 o'clock as he was riding
along the road, he felt his old trouble coming on and getting off his horse
tied it to the fence. Here, later, he was found helpless by the roadside
and taken home by friends, where he died about 8 o'clock.
The funeral services were held from his late residence at 2 p.m., Wednesday,
conducted by Rev. Brown, interment being made at Brown's chapel.
