SUDDEN DEATH OF
HENRY HASBROUCK

The people of Wisconsin Rapids
were surprised the past week to hear
of the sudden and unexpected death
of Henry Hasbrouck of Port Arthur,
Canada We received a letter from
him dated Port Arthur, September 16,
1920. In that letter he wrote in
very happy vein. He stated that he
had just returned from an extended
stay for his company listing 100000
railroad ties, which the company had
sold the railroad company. He want
ed to be remembered TO his old time
friends and especially Ed Bodette, the
shoemaker. He said nothing of an
operation for the removal of his ton
slls, in this letter, therefore we were
greatly surprised to learn of his sud
zen death on the Goth of September.
1t appears that he went to the doc
tors office without saying anything
about it to MS employers. He died of
heart trouble while under the knife
on the operating table. He therefore
left no word for his relatives or friends
Henry Hasbrouck was always a faith
ful employee and a good, trusted
friend. He never married. He died
at the age of SO years. He had many
excellent traits of character which
won for him many devoted friends.
He leaves to mourn one brother, A.
J. Hasbrouck of this city and two sis
ters, Mrs. Lima Corriveau and Miss Ell
la Hasbrouck. Burial took place
where he died at Port Arthur, Canada.
