It is not known whether on his return home he became ill and started for his home from the blacksmith shop or whether he had finished his work and had started from the house to get ready to come to town for his supper.
When his body was found Mr. GILBERT still wore his cap and glasses and there was no sign of a struggle or pain in the face, appoplexy being given as the cause of his death. Rev. B.F. HUBBARD who was walking on the other side of the street discovered the body lying in the yard and called to two boys, Byron WEST and James LAMSON. Cororner W.H.
