Nicholas Cody, formerly a resident of Ottumwa, died at Centerville Tuesday night. Only last Sunday Mrs. Cody was buried. Mr. Cody went to work as usual Monday morning, worked all day and until Tuesday noon, when not feeling well, he went home. About 8:30 that night he raised himself up and then fell back upon the bed. His littlo boy, who had been attending to some work, came to the house and found his father dead. Heart disease is believed to be the cause. He was a steady, hard-working man, and a good citizen, and all who knew him will extend their sympathies to his little fatherless and motherless children. The deceased was a brother of Henry Cody, of this city.

The facts of the case as we understand it are: He retired at 8:30 p. m. and his son came in about 9 o'clock and spoke to him and thinking him asleep said nothing more to him and found him dead when he got up the next morning.
