Marcy,

Word Of the accidental death at
Fairfield of Lucian j. Marcy today
was received by relatives in this
city. Marcy came TO his death while
telling tree on his farm near Fair
field. He left his home in Fairfield
at 2 O'Clock in the afternoon to visit
his farm and was not seen by the
tenant Of his family until $3.50, when
his team. which had been standing
In a pasture all afternoon attracted
attention. 1t was. unusual for Marcy
to spend so much time at the farm
and as q nearby tree had been felied
1t occasioned some surprise. The
tenant hurried to the scener and found
Marcy lying under the tree. the
branches having struck him at the
base of the spine and at the neck
It Is believed he had been instantly
killed. Marcy had never attempted
to cut down a tree before without
help, but the tenant being away 1t
is presumed he undertook the task
alone.

and is survived by his wife, formerly
Miss Anna Cottle. sister Of DR.. G.
c. Cottle. formerly of this city. but
now Of California. Mr.. Marcy was a
