A Sudden Death
M. K. Gillett of Skedee, died
very suddenly and unexpectedly
last Monday. Mr. Gillett, who
was 81 years old, was thought to
be feeling fine on the day of his
death. He was up town and work-

went to bed, remarking to his wife
that he wanted to rest, and died
immediately.
Funeral services were held on
Tuesday afternoon and the re-1
