Sudden Death

John A. Blankenship dropped dead at his home in the hills about three miles from Clearsprings at 8 o'clock Sunday morning. Heart trouble was the cause of his death.

With his son he had left the house and was walking across the yard when he suddenly fell forward in the path on his face.

His son at once reached down and turned him over but found him dead.

He was 53 years of age and leaves a wife and six children. The family is in very poor circustances.
