This was exemplified by the sudden passing away of Jesse Loder at his home in Auburndale last night at 10:30 o'clock.  Deceased was sitting up, perusing a paper an hour before the grim messenger delivered his imperative summons.  The cause of death was heart failure.  He was taken ill suddenly and died before a physician could be summoned.  Deceased was born in Stuben County, New York, was 56 years old at the time of his death and been a resident of this county for the past eight years.  He had made his home for some time in the old Auburndale Hotel.  He was a member in good standing of the Fraternal Aid Association and the A.O.U.W., and carried $2000 in insurance in each organization.
