On Thursday, he was about town apparently in his usual health and planning to leave Friday morning to go to a ditching job. He went to his room at bed time, as usual. About 11 o'clock when his remains were found, he had apparently been dead for several hours. He must have passed away in his sleep as the bed clothes were not disarranged in any way that would indicate that he suffered.
