as yet not sufficient as to regard it at all serious. Meeting 
his physician he consulted him, who advised treatment, which 
was followed, while attending to his daily practice, which he 
continued to do up to Saturday evening, leaving his office for 
home as late as 9 P. M. He did not complain, and rested 
fairly well during the night, and Sunday morning, although 
not feeling very well, he concluded to attend church. At this 
time his physician passing, called in, and advised him not to 
go. In a short time he rapidly grew worse, having slight 
convulsions and heart failure, becoming unconscious about 
noon, and remaining so until his death, which occurred at 
7:45 P. M.
