Mr. Loop's death was a real shock to everyone. He had been ill only a few hours. Saturday afternoon he went to the post office as usual and spent some time visiting with friends down town. Shortly after having eaten his supper he became ill, and died the next morning.
Being of a jolly and happy nature and never complaining, and always with a word of cheer for others, his death was a terrible shock to all.
