Man Found Frozen

Frank E. Holden, aged SO, who
has resided near Geneseeville for
many years, was found lying dead
and frozen in a road near that viii
lage Saturday morning. The unfor-
tunate man had recently been re-
leased from hospital and was on
his way home when it is thought he
was overtaken with weakness, or
possibly death, and fell in the road
way where his body lay undiscover-
ed until the following morning. AS
he had been afflicted with heart dis
ease it is thought that death may
have resulted from that cause. He
is survived by one brother, Albert,
and three sisters, Mrs. Caroline
Swart, who resides near here, Mrs.
Almira Chambers, of Hope, and
Mrs. Laura Soules, of California.
Funeral services were held from
