TWO RIVERS MAN DIES ABOARD SANTA FE TRAIN
Ray (sic) Lafond, Enroute Home From West, Is Stricken
Enroute from San Diego, Cal., where he had spent the past three years for his
health, Ray Lafond, a Two Rivers man, died aboard a Santa Fe railway train at
10 ‘clock this morning, five hours before he was due to arrive at Chicago where
he planned to transfer and reach his home here this evening. Messages received
at Two Rivers at noon today told of the tragedy and announced that the body
would be forwarded, reaching that city tonight or tomorrow.
Mr. Lafond advised by physicians at San Diego that he had but a short time of
life, expressed a wish to return to Two Rivers to be with loved ones when the
end came and left San Diego several days ago, accompanied by a nurse. He was
destined to disappointment, however, and this morning he suffered the attack
that proved fatal.
Deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs. David Lafond and left Two Rivers three years
ago at a time when his health began to fail. Up to recently it was believed that
he was improving, but a few days ago letters came saying that the end was near
and that at his request, Mr. Lafond was being sent home.
Then, while the family waited the home coming, the message of death arrived.
