"Feeling Chilly' - About 11 o'clock Wednesday morning Matthias T. Huebner, cashier of the Lititz National Bank complained of feeling chilly and proceeded down stairs to start a fire in the furnace under the bank. Not long afterwards some one came to the bank to see Mr. Huebener and then it was that Mrs. Huebener searched for him and found her husband near the furnace, dead.
Israel G. Erb and Squire Reidenbach, assisted by Alonzo Miksch, bore the body upstairs and doctors were sent for in the vain hope that, after all, life might not be extinct. All three of our doctors were not at home. Finally Dr. J. J. Roebuck was found, but no physician's skill could avail aught. The vital spark was free.
The verdict was that heart disease was the cause of death. He was aged 58 years 9 months and 8 days."
