THATCHE.f.
The community was shocked on
Saturday evening by the sudden death
of our esteeme ed fellow citizen, Mr.. j.
Newton thatcher which occurred at his
home on Dry Run, about five miles
west OF this city.
Mr.. Thatcher and nearly all his fam
lily had the typhoid fever aboue year
ago and he has not been in perfect
health since that time, and this fall he
has been confined 10 his bed a good
deal of the time. FROM indications
he was suffering with kidney and
heart trouble. During the past week
the doctor often found his condition
serious and TO him ana the family his
sudden death cannot be said to have
been real surprise.
On Saturday he seemed better than
for some days and was walking out
and about apparently enjoying the
fine weather.
AT supper he sat down to the table
and after eating only mouthful or
two his head sank to his breast and in
perhaps less than minute he was
dead.
The funeaal took place on Tuesday
morning at the house at 10 O'clock, his
pastor, Rev. DR.. f. NJ. Woods, Off
ciatlng and the interment was in the
family lot in Green Hill cemetery in
this city.
The deceased was the eldest son of
the late Jonathan Thatcher who lived
and raised his large family on the farm
where the son died. The father died
more suddenly than the son. He was
at a funeral, and had a hymn book in
his hand, ready to start hymn when
he sank down dying in an instant.
Mr.. Thatcher is survived by his wife
who was Miss Cushwa, two daugh-
ters and two sons, Misses Mamie and
Minnie and Charles and Harlan all at
home. He was model farmer and
was devoted to his chosen business.
