J.C. Sexton, 63, Died Suddenly, Sept. 24, 1926

Mr. J. C. Sexton Dies at His Home Suddenly

Mr. J. C. Sexton died very suddenly at his home three miles from Jamesville last Wednesday night.

Mr. Sexton was 63 years old last April, and until his death was an unusually active man, having lived on a farm from his youth.

He was not very well Wednesday and a doctor was called. He remained in bed only a part of the day and after the family had retired in the early part of the night, he called for his wife, asking her to do something for him. It was only a few minutes afterward that he told her it was useless for he said he was dying. Five minutes later he died.

He married Miss Ada Galord, who with one daughter, Mrs. Clarence Wallace, survives him.

Burial took place in the William Sexton plot on the farm upon which he was reared on yesterday afternoon. Rev. A. Corey conducted the services.
