SUDDEN DEATH. The community
VAS shocked on Sunday to learn that

William A. Reese had died in his
sleep the night previous. He went to
bed, in apparent good health, about II
O'Clock Saturday night. About L p.
IN. Sunday, his father, not seeing him
on the street during the forenoon,
went to his room to awaken him, when
he found him cold in death. Deceased
was a son of j. Mart. Reese, n of
our oldest and most respected citizens.
He was 3 years of age, and for a long
time had been subject to fits. When
found he was lying with his face
downward, and buried in the pillow.
1t is surmised that during the night
he was attacked by a fit and turned
upon his face, and, thus situated, suf-
located before consciousness returned.
He was buried yesterday afternoon
from the Presbyterian Church, a large
of friends and acquaintance
following the remains to their last
resting place. The father receives the
profound sympathy of the whole com
munity. for zone could have failed to
appreciate the deep solicitude with
which he has long watched over the
Affections of his unfortunate son.
