VETERAN FOUND DEAD IN HIS BED

At Home in Brownstown Early This Morning by His Wife.

Sudden Call For John Sarver.

Was Up at Three O'clock To Give His Wife Dose of Medicine.

John Sarver, a veteran of the Civiel war, was found dead in bed at his home at Brownstown this morning. He died some time after 3 o'clock and his wife who was sleeping by his side did not know of his death until 6 o'clock when she called him to get up. He failed to respond and an investigation by her revealed the fact that he was dead.

Mr. Sarver had been in his usual health recently and Thursday was on the streets of Brownstown. His wife was sick last night and about 3 o'clock this morning he got up and gave her a dose of medicine. He then retired and it is supposed suffered an attack of heart trouble some time later and died instantly. His wife did not hear him make any noise or disturbance.

He was 68 years old and moved to Browntown recently from Freetown. He formerly lived in Seymour.

The funeral will be held at Brownstown at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon and the services will be conducted by Rev. Schneider.
