PROMINENT FARM-
ER DROPS DEAD
———
(From Monday’s Daily)

Henry Dunn, robust farmer aged about 60 years, died in this city today (June 20) about 10 o’clock, a victim of heart disease. He lived about three miles from Corvallis on the Philomath road and came to Corvallis this morning to transact business. While at the Fischer warehouse he was stricken with a severe pain in the heart and would have fallen but for help. He was removed to the Gerhart home and from there to the Mary’s River Sanitorium, where he died an hour later. Henry Dunn was ever counted a very healthy man and none would have thought of his early demise.
