Obituary of Jesse Lentz

 
Jesse Lentz, aged about 46 years, died very suddenly at his home
in this city Sunday evening.  He was playing with some children
in his yard when he became faint.  He leaned against the fence
for a moment and then entered the house.  His wife assisted him
to a chair where he expired without a struggle.  A physician was
summoned and he pronounced it a case of heart failure.

The deceased left a wife and four children and as they were in
poor circumstances, Frank Tingley circulated a subscription paper
and received cash donations amounting to over $25.  A part of
this was used to purchase a burial lot and pay for digging a
grave and the rest was given to the family who are very thankful
for the liberal donations.

The funeral was conducted at the house at 10 o'clock this
forenoon by Rev. H. W. Huston.

Jesse Letz was a quiet, unassuming fellow.  For several years he
has worked for F. R. Neal who subscribed very liberally to the
fund for the family and also paid to have funeral notices
printed.
