Had Been in Poor Health Two Years
But Was Seriously Sick Only a Week


R. Lundy, who for 17 consecutive years, was Carthage city clerk, died at 9:50 o'clock Saturday night at his home, 1213 Grand Avenue. Death was due to heart trouble. He had been seriously sick a week but had not been in good health for two years. He was 68 years old.

Soon after the war he came to Jasper county. He was elected to the city clerk's office on the Republican ticket. Before he became city clerk he was street commissioner for one year.
After leaving the clerk's office he was a salesman for the Platt-Porter grocery or the predecessors of that company, until poor health caused him to quit work. He was the salesman for the concern in Carthage and the stores immediately adjacent to the city.
