Death of John Tromblay
Expired Suddenly While Doing the Chores Saturday Morning.
The announcement that John Tromblay, one of the oldest of our residents, had died suddenly last Saturday morning brought a great surprise to everyone, for it was not known that Mr. Tromblay was ill in any way.
Mr. Tromblay went to the barn Saturday morning to do the chores as has been his custom for years. He had a cow to milk and feed. He lighted his lantern, for it was dark when he went out to climb to the hay loft to put down some hay for the animal, hung the lantern on a nail just above the opening and evidently dropped dead immediately afterwards, for the body was found close to the opening and he had put down no hay.
Mrs. Tromblay supposed that her husband had been called up town after going to the barn, for he was a deputy sheriff, and thought nothing of his failure to return until about 10 o'clock when she remembered that the cow had not been milked yet and knew something out of the ordinary must have happened or he would have had the cow milked, so she started to investigate and found her husband lying in the hay mow.
She immediately summoned assistance and notified the officers who made an investigation and found that death come suddenly.
Mr. Tromblay fell a few weeks ago and fractured a couple ribs, and he had not been in the best of health since, although he complained but little.
John Tromblay was born in the Province of Quebec, Canada in 1864, making him 53 years of age at time of death. He left his home in Quebec in 1877 to sail the Great Lakes, and for two years followed the sailor's life. In 1879 he settled at Menominee and for the next four years he was identified with that important lumber center.
In 1883 the new community of Crystal Falls attracted his attention and he came here in the capacity of a lumber man and Crystal Falls has been his home from that date. Mr. Tromblay has been associated with the circuit court of this county since the county organization in the capacity of a deputy sheriff.
In 1890 he was married to Melvina Moran at Negaunee and she, with eight children, survive him.
The names of the children are: Willard, Howard, George, Dewey, Sophie, Alverna, Mariella and Albert Tromblay, all living in Crystal Falls.
The funeral was held from the Church of the Guardian Angels on Tuesday morning, Mr. Tromblay having been a life member of that church.
