SUDDEN DEATH
Albert C Breith, 64, died suddenly at his home in Newport Monday night of heart trouble. He was out Saturday, apparently in his usual health, but was taken ill Sunday night. During Monday afternoon he was feeling well, but after 8 o'clock he complained of almost suffocating. Dr. C Herman was unable to relieve him and death followed in an hour.
He was born in Germany, but had resided in Newport nearly a half century. He was a member of James Albert Post GAR, having entered the Union army when the war broke out as a private and member of the Fifty-third Kentucky Volunteer Infantry. He was also a member of Noah's Dove Lodge of Odd Fellows and of the famous Thirteen Club of that order; a member of Robert Burns Lodge of Masons, the Union Veterans Legion and the Kentucky Regimental Association.
He served three terms in Council and was also elected City Assessor at one time. A widow and one son, Otto Breith, survive him. The funeral arrangements have not as yet been completed.
