SUDDEN DEATH

Mr. Joseph C Bowers, died suddenly on Wednesday at his residence near Berlin. He was in Berlin that day lively and cheerful. On arriving at home he sat down to supper, taking a hearty meal. While at the table ordinary conversation was engaged in and there was not the slightest indication that anything was the matter. He took a drink of tea from his cup and then sank down in his chair, dying instantly. Deceased was 46 years old, and one of the best informed and most advanced farmers in the country. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his loss and who have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement.
