Death came suddenly to William Smathers of Clarion township last Sunday, aged about 53 years. He had eaten a hearty breakfast as usual and soon after was seen to fall from his chair in death agonies. His friends were horror stricken, although he had not been well for some time. Dropsy of the heart was the cause. He was buried at Asbury News Years day at 10:30.
