Thomas Jacks, Aged Citizen of Lee, Died Suddenly of Heart Failure.

Shortly after 8 o'clock this Wednesday morning Thomas Jacks, of Lee, 77 years of age, expired suddenly from, an attack of heart complaint. Deceased was a very hale man for his age, except for occasional spells with his heart. About a week ago he had been helping with the harvesting and seeing some stock in the corn, went to drive it out. He was overheated and had since been feeling very poorly. It is understood that he got up this morning and was out in the road near his home when seized by the attack and that he fell over dead. He was the father of Alfred Jacks, of Rensselaer, and Williams Jacks, who lives southwest of this city. There are three other children, all by his second wife, viz. Sam Jacks, Mrs. Chas. Lefler and Mrs. Joseph Clark. Chas. Jacks and Mrs. T. D. Woodworth, of this city, are nephew and niece of the deceased.
