Sudden Death of Ed Wood.

The community was profoundly |
shocked on last Friday by the an
by telephone that E. l..
Wood, the we'll known merchant and
ex-postmaster at Morgan, nine miles
west of Lineville, had dropped dead.
He had been in Lineville few days
before and appeared in his usual con-
dition of health, and it seemed incred-
ible that he should have died thus sud-
denly. 1t appears, however, that he
had suffered from an attack of heart
disease about two weeks previously, but
the symptoms had passed away and no
further danger was apprehended. Be-
tween three and four clock on Friday
afternoon, while at the store, he ex-
perienced a sudden recurrance Of the
malady, and left the store and went tG
his house, situated short distance
away, and in fifteen minutes after he
was dead. The deceased was the son of
Jacob and Lucretia Wood and was
born and reared in Morgan township,
Decatur county, Iowa, where he resided
to the time of his death, and was about
forty years of age. His father died
several years ago, but he is survived by
his mother, Mrs. Geisseman, of this
township, three brothers and sister
living near Weldon, Iowa, and two
brothers residing in Kansas, all of whom
were in attendance at the funeral. He
leaves two children, son aged Is and
daughter aged Is years, his wife who
was daughter Of f. M. Torrance, of
Morgan township, having passed away
last February. He was good and use.
full citizen and will be greatly missed in
the neighborhood where he lived. He
was member in good standing in the
Odd Fellows lodge of Leon, of the lodge
of American Yeomen, of Lineville, and
of the M. E. Church, South, at Wesley
Chapel, near his re sidence. He held
life insurance to the amount of $4,000,
one thousand in the Yeomen lodge, and
two thousand in the Bankers, of Des
Moines. The funeral services were held
at Wesley Chapel at l O'Clock, p. M,
Sunday, conducted by Rev. q. w.
Trotter, number of Odd Fellows from
Leon and delegation Of Yeomen from
Lineville being present, with a very
large attendance of friends and neigh.
bors of the deceased. The interment
was at Evergreen cemetery, this place
beside the remains of his wife who pre-
coded him few short months ago. The
burial ceremonies, which were beautiful
and impressive, were conducted by the
Yeomen. The sorrowlng family have
the sympathy of all in their sudden be
vement.-Lineville Tribune.
