This morning (Tuesday) we are called on to record the death of our neighbor, Richard R. Tozier, who departed this life at 8:30 a.m. Mr. Tozier eat his breakfast as usual, apparently as well as common. After eating his breakfast he placed his hand to his head. Mrs. Tozier spoke to him and got him to lay on the bed, as she saw he was sick. Dr. Vermillion was summoned, but when he arrived, Mr. Tozier was passing away and died a few moments later.
