SUDDEN DEATH
----------
Three Come Very Unexpectedly to the
Notice of Postmaster Sexton.
----------
One day while in Michigan the first of this month Mr. Sexton drove eight miles to Niles to see Ed Hanson, son of the man for whom Mr. Sexton worked when he was a young man. When he reached Niles, Mr. Hanson, who was a traveling salesman, was away on a trip. While talking with the firm for whom Hanson worked a telegram came announcing that Hanson had been run over and cut to pieces by a train at Dowagiach, Mich.
That is certainly piling up sudden deaths in one man's experience very lively.
Note: The other deaths spoken of in this article were Allen Dunning and the son of Albert Alyea.
