After he had eaten, Mr. Kephart told his wife he did not feel well. As he walked down the second floor steps, thinking to go outside, he called to Bobby for a flashlight.

Mr. Kephart was somewhat revived by the time the Flemington ambulance arrived to bring him to Lock Haven. He
was suffering pain in the areas around his neck, back and left arm. No report was available to the Express up until
