SUDDEN DEATH
STRIKES ONE OF
C|TY'S BEST men
PASSING OF WALL KNOWN HO.
TEL MAN is DISTINCT SHOCK
TO ENTIRE COMMUNITY

Death sent shudder through the
community, Tuesday morning when
word was passed that W. p. Hether-
ington, one of the best known busi-
ness men in this city had been strick-
en- with heart trouble shortly after
midnight and had died at two o'clock
that morning. While it was known
that Mr.. Hetherington's health had
not been of the best for long time,
still he had been up ana around
about his business every day and to
those who had been with him the day
and evening before, his death seemed
near impossible.
Mr.. Hetherington in company with
his wife, had taken dinner at the
Hotel Belaing on Monday and had
enjoyed the remainder of the day at
the hotel with several friends. He
spent some time in his Office with
Ed. Stanton and the two had long
talk and as Mr.. Hetherington rose
to go he remarked that he would see
Mr.. Stanton in the morning. Mon
ay evening Mr.. and Mrs. Hether-
ington attended gathering at the
home of Mrs. |. l.. Hubbell in the
Burlington and arrived home about
midnight.
Shortly after retiring, Mrs. Heth-
erington awoke to find her husband
setting on the edge of the bed. She
noticed that he was very sick ani
hurried to the telephone to call a
physician When she returned, he
seemed to realize that the end was
near and told her that he thought she
would have to carry on the fight
alone. In few minutes he had CIV
en- up the spirit and the soul of one
of Bel ing's best men was in eterni-
ty.
Mr.. Hetherington came here 80
years ago from Easthampton, Mass
and opened up the Belding Hotel. For
nearly thirty years hG managed
that business and during that time
he became one of the best known
hotel men in the state. The hotel
was always known-and still is-as
the best small hotel in the country
About four years ago he relinquish-
ed the management of the hotel and
devoted his time to the Belding Land
and Improvement Co, of which he
was secretary.
A year ago, he gave in to the ad
vice of his physician and friends and
took a vacation and spent the winter
in Florida. He could not forget Bel
ding, however, and was happy again
when he returned and got back in
the harness attending to business
once more. While his health had
not been good, it had never given an
indication that his condition was ser
ious and his death was distinct
shock and the community suffers a
great loss.
Mr. Hetherineton was one Of the
city's most public spirited men and
was always ready to do his share or
mere in anv public matter which
came up. He had a pleasing per-
sonality and it made no difference
whether he met you once or a Jozen
times a day the same old smile and
warm hand clasp were always ready.
