A Sudden Death - James Forsyth. A pall of gloom settled over this town and community last Saturday on account of the sudden death of James A. Forsyth, a well known and highly respected citizen of Lake View, who died immediately after partaking of a hearty dinner on that day with his wife and little son.
It seems that on the morning of that day he hitched up his team and with D. S. Miller drove to the Frisbie farm east of the lake for a load of hay, which he got and returned to town, appearing to all who saw him on that trip as being in usual health and jolly spirits. He was a man who never complained and was always well, strong, and healthy, and as genial as he was vigorous, with a happy air and a good word for everybody. Death was caused from a ruptured blood vessel in the brain.
James A. Forsyth was born September 16, 1870, in Wappelo County, Iowa, coming with a year and a half later to Sac County where he had since lived. He was married January 5, 1893 to Miss Matie J. Comstock of Coon Valley Township. A wife, a son seven years old, a father, and two brothers survive him to mourn his untimely death.
Funeral services were held at the house Monday, the hour having been set after it was learned that his brother, T. A. Forsyth, of Faulktown, South Dakota, could not reach here til Wednesday, being at the time some from a railroad station. His brother, L. W. Forsyth, who is a traveling agent for the Bankers Accident Insurance Company of Des Moines, was at Fort Dodge when he received the sad news and was able to Lake View on Saturday evening and was present at the funeral. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. James Baltz, of Wall Lake. James A. Forsyth was laid to rest in the Ferguson Cemetery by the side of a departed son, and mother who preceded him less than a year ago.
