William S. Botkin, 72, RR 12, well-known retired employee of Muncie Water Works Co., died unexpectedly early this morning at Ball Hospital, apparently as the result of a heart attack.

Surviving are his wife, Helen Beiersdorfer Botkin; a son, William E. Botkin; three grandsons, Dennis Anthony, William Andrew, and Timothy Alan Botkin, all of Muncie; and a sister, Mrs. Daniel Collins, St. Petersburg, Fla.

Friends may call at the Meeks Mortuary from 3 until 5 and from 7 until 9 p.m. Thursday. The Rosary will be recited at the mortuary 8:30 p.m. Thursday.
