When the ice melts in the cans for

HEART TROUBLE CAUSE
Was Performing His Duties Faithful
ly When Death Came-Lived

Alfred S. McElheny, living at SIG
South Fifth street, night baggage mas
ter at the Union station, was found
dead shortly after o'clock this morn
ing He was found lying on a truck,
pencil and paper in hand, which leads
to the belief that he had climbed on
the truck to check a shipment. The
baggagemen had all worked No. Z,
which arrives at 2:35. After that a
truck load of milk was hauled over
under the light by Mr.. McElheny, and
evidently he had taken his pencil to
check the cans. He had been having
catarrhal trouble for some time and
recently had complained of pains in
the side, and Mrs. McElheny thinks
heart trouble was the cause Of his
sudden demise.
Deceased was born in Sioux City,
Iowa, October IS, 1868. He was mar
ried on his birthday, 1899, to Miss
Bertha Leffler, at Carthage, Illinois.
Mr.. and Mrs. McElheny came to Keo-
kuk to make their home eighteen
years ago, and have since lived here.
Mr. McElheny was a very faithful
worker, and during most Of his resi-
dence here he was employed by Swift
& Co. Last March he took the po-
sition of night baggage master at the
Union station, which position he NIL
ed until his death.
He was much trusted by his employ
ers and on several occasions he took
large shipments OF poultry to New
York.
He leaves his wife only, as no chill
dren were born to the couple. At
this time the arrangements of the fun
eral have not been made.
