— We learn some of the particulars of the death of Mr. Davidson (mentioned last week) from the Redwood Falls Gazette. The coroner of the county was called and, "found that Rolla B. Davidson had died as a result of heart failure, following the la grippe, with which he was taken over a week ago. Mr. Davidson was about 32 years old. He had lived on the south half of section 33 about one year. A short time ago his wife and three children left him for a visit at Alma, and as a result he was alone at the time of his death. Early Monday morning a neighbor called at his place in search of some lost hogs. Receiving no response to repeated knocks, he looked in a window of a bedroom and saw Davidson lying there. He tapped on the window, but failed to receive a response. Another neighbor was notified and the two drove to Walnut Grove, from which place Dr. Hawes was notified. Dr. Hawes thinks that Davidson had died but a few hours before his remains were discovered lying on the bed." His wife was immediately notified, at Alma City, and at once repaired to the place and had the remains removed to his old home, near Alma City, for burial. It was a sad and sudden ending of a busy and useful young life.
