    James Lanman Dead

    Expired Suddenly of Heart Failure.
    Death Not Expected.

    The entire community was shocked Thursday morning by the report that James Lanman was dead. He was about as usual on Wednesday but complained of having a bad cold and did not feel well. In the evening he went about the yard doing his chores although it was very cold. He spent the evening at home according to his usual custom. About ten o'clock that night he ate a light lunch, a cutom he had observed for many years, and retired. About one o'clock the next morning jhe wife, who slept with him, heard him gasping for breath and endeavored to wake him but could not do so. She became alarmed and sent her faughter Amy to the nearest neighbor for helf. When their friends arrived however it was plainly evident that the spirit of the good old man had forever left the body.

    He passed from sleep into death so gently that it is probable that he was unaware of the change. It is pleasing to think of so painless and peaceful a death.

    The funeral took place this afternoon. The remains were taken to the Baptist church by his old comrades and Rev. Leidy preached an eloquent sermon. the building was not large enough to contain all who desired to attend, many remaining standing and some not finding room returning the way they came. Many eyes were filled with tears when the gazed on the benign countenance of the dead. The love and esteem in which he was held by all was plainly apparent in the sorrowing faces of his numerous friends. The remains were escorted to the Plainview cemetery by his comrades where all that was mortal of the good and kind old man were gently laid to rest.
