Edward Healey, one of the early settlers and old time residents of Seward county, died suddenly at the Savoy Hotel in Lincoln, on Thursday evening of last week, from strangulation. Mr. Healey was taken violently ill in the cafe of the Savoy at supper time. He walked into the office of the hotel and fell immediately unconscious, and died within a few minutes. An autopsy Friday forenoon by Doctors Spielman and Hummel revealed the fact that the lungs were filled with the same substance that was contained in the stomach, and he had evidently choked to death as the result of a severe vomiting spell.
Mr. Healy was an old soldier and had been staying at the Soldiers and Sailors Home in Milford for some time. He had a large acquaintance throughout the county, having served four years as county Superintendent of this county, from 1892 to 1895.
Burial services were held at Crete, on Sunday afternoon, and were in charge of the Masonic fraternity, of which lodge he was a member in that city. The old soldiers of Lincoln escorted the body from the undertaking parlors to the Burlington depot, and the remains were sent to Crete at 11:25 a.m., the services taking place in the afternoon.
The deceased was a brother of T. A. Healey of Milford.
