FRED STOCKSICK DIES SUDDENLY.

Frederick Stocksick died suddenly at his home on Dayton street at three o’clock Sunday afternoon, of what was probably a congestive chill. He had been busy odtside house earlier in the afternoon, doing a few chores, and was in apparantly good health. A few moments before his death he called to his children and complained of feeling rather faint, and requested that they asslt him to his bed. His actions alarmed them and they hastily summoned Mr. and Mrs. George Colvert, who live neighbors to them. Mr. Colvert came at once but when he reached the Stocksick home Fred was breathing his last. The family physician was called but his efforts to restore life were unavailing. He was born In St. Louis, Mo., and was married to Miss Alice Calwell, in Highland county, Ohio, where he lived several years before coming to Indiana. Deceased was a veteran of the w’ar of the rebellion, having served one year as private in Company I of the 40th Missouri Infantry. Following his enlistment in volunteer service he served in the regular army three years,' from November 1867, to November 1870. A wife and six children survive him—Mabel, Anna, Bertha, Matilda, and Roy at home; and two married daughters, Sadie Becher living southwest of Rensselaer, and Etta Boomster of Paxton, 111. ■\ The funeral will be held at the home tomorrow at 2:30 p. m., the G. A. R. post having charge of the services.
