Died - Edward Webster

Edward Webster, a man who has been employed in the Hoard rooming house for several months past, was found dead in bed on Sunday morning. Coroner Sticklin was notified and made an investigation. After calling in Dr. Dumon, who pronounced that death was due to heart failure, he decided that no inquest was necessary. From letters found in the dead man's pocket it was learned that he had a sister, Mrs. J. S. Fikes, living in Riverside, Mich. Mrs. Fikes was notified by wire of her brother's death, and sent a return message to the effect that her brother was to have a respectable burial and to draw on her for the amount.
