He seemed in the best of health and in his usual good spirits at the supper table, laughing and talking with his family and sister, Mrs. Estell Schenck. He has been to Monroe that afternoon. After supper, he finished his chores, then sat down to read his paper. The family missed him but thought he had retired for the night. One of his boys was having trouble with his car and he had gone to help him.When he reached him he asked what seems to be the trouble and then fell and was gone. The son picked him up, put him in the car and drove to the house calling his mother said "Prepare for the worse, Dad is gone." A doctor was called but nothing could be done.
