On that day he had done more work than usual, and even had talked of coming to Howell on busi­ness. After partaking of his evening's meal he read until about eight o'clock and then retired. In a few moments he got up, however, and re­paired to the room where his wife was, who noticed that he acted rather strangely, and asked what was the matter. He replied, "I do not know, but I guess I am dying," and asked for some water, but when it was brought was unable to swallow it, and expired in less than half an hour. Dr. Wells was summoned, but did not arrive until after his death. He attributes as the cause congestion of the lungs, producing suffocation.
