In the sudden death of Henry N. OAR
ling Sunday morning, Nov. Is, the COM
munify and all his friends were much
shocked. He was caring for a patient in
| typhoid fever, and was apparently as
well as usual, but not really in his usual
| health for more than year. He had q
| cough, and sometimes remarked that he
! fell badly across his chest. Sunday morn
/ ing he had eaten his breakfast, and was
attending to his patient, when he left the
| room, and suffered a hemorrhage OF the
| lungs, and all was over with him in one
minute. Henry Newton Darling was
born in Albany Jan. 49, 1855, the eldest
son OF Norris M. and Mary K. (AcClary)
