S. Colvin Dies At Home in Morris
Morris, Sept. 9---Leroy Colvin, who had been a
resident of Lower Dimmock Hollow for many years, passed away at his
late home Thursday morning. At midnight, when his son and daughter
retired, he was alright, but at 5:30, when the son came down stairs
he found his father on the floor, where he had fallen a few hours
before. Death was caused by heart failure. He had been in unusually
good health this summer until the extreme heat came about a week ago,
when he had a poor spell.
Deceased was born in the town of Morris, August 4,
1859, son of Christopher and Harriet Colvin. March 25, 1896, he was
united in marriage to Bertha Bailey who passed away in 1926.
Those surviving are the son, Arthur, and daughter,
Myrtle, who reside at home; also one sister, Mrs. Alida Backus.
Mr. Colvin was a sincere Christian man, being a
member of the Baptist church at Morris, a good neighbor and friend
and one who will be missed by the community.
The funeral will be held at his late home Saturday at
2:00 p. m., with Rev. H. E. Danielson and Rev. F. G. Leonard,
officiating.
