DIED SUDDENLY Tuesday, Nov.
Is, Mr.. Jay Barber, of this city, re-

den death of his brother, Mr.. A. Hamil-

from the Sandusky (Ohio) Daily Regis
ter:
Mr.. A. III. Barber died very suddenly
at his residence, 2l5 Market street, YES
terday afternoon shortly after one
o'clock. He came home as usual to
his dinner at noon and remarked to his
wife that he was feeling uncommonly
well. After dinner he lay down, as
was his custom, to take nap, and
shortly afterward Mrs. Barber, discov-
ering that he breathed unnaturally, be-
| came alarmed and called in MIR. O. j.

BARRIERS head was raised, when he
made two gasps and all was over. DIR.

zens of Sandusky, having lived here
since 1885, coming here at that time
from Troy, n. Y. He was engaged in
the hardware business with +. L. Bar

his death, he was in the eightieth year

faculties of a man in the prime of life.
He will be missed by large circle of
