by buying and selling two adjoining

SUDDENLY
Death Came To James Belt
On Friday
Working 10 The Barn when
Seized with Stroke
OF AppOplexy Which Caused
Death Instantly

James Belt, aged So years, prom
inent farmer residing about four and
one half miles west of the city on the
Old Delaware road, was found dead in
the stable near his home Friday morn
ing at about 1880 o'clock. He had been
attending to the morning work at the
barn when he was seized with an apop-
lectic stroke and died suddenly. He
is survived by his wife, his mother,
one son, two daughters, two sisters
and four brothers, one of whom Is Mr..
Jarret Belt Of this city.
At about o'clock Mr.. Belt went to
the barn to curry the horses as has
been his custom. At the end of one
half hour when he did not return to
the house his daughter, Florence, went
in search of her father and found him
lying In a stall near one of the horses
which he had been currying. After hav-
ing summoned assistance the stricken
man was carried to the house where
DR.. F. l.. Singrey was called in at
tendance.
When Mr. Belt was discovered to be
dead it was at first thought that he
had been kicked by one of the horses
but the doctors examination did not
reveal even a slight bruise at any
point on his body. Apoplexy was pro-
nounced the cause of his death.
