John C. Bledsoe, 64 Years Old, Passes Away From Heart Disease While On Duty
John C. Bledsoe, 64 years old, of 1237 South Seventeenth street, night watchman at the plant of the North Vernon Lumber Company, Fourteenth and Hill streets, was found dead in the company's office at 5:30 yesterday morning by William Stinson, who was to relieve him. Bledsoe was sitting in a chair, and Deputy Coroner William T. Kammerer, who was called, said death was due to heart disease.
