DEATH OF W. T. SHUCK.
The large circle of friends and acquaintances of W. T. Shuck heard with surprise and sorrow of his sudden death last Friday night at his home in Union township.
Mr. Shuck had been to a mill in the forenoon, coming home to dinner rather late. While sitting at the table he was suddenly taken ill and had to be assisted to his bed. He became unconscious and seemed to be enduring great pain. Medical aid was summoned, but no relief could be obtained. He continued to grow worse until death came about 9 o’clock at night.
Mr. Shuck had been afflicted with heart trouble for some time but the cause of his death was paralysis of the brain.
He was seventy-six years old and was one of the best known and most highly respected citizens in the county. For several years he resided in his property just west of town, returning to his farm about a year ago. He leaves a wife and four children—one son, Geo. T. Shuck, living in Union township and three daughters.
Funeral services were held Monday morning at Shiloh church.
