Dod (sic) Tilbury was found unconscious on the floor of his room in the blacksmith shop at Spring Ranch, Monday evening. Not seeing him around as usual during the day the neighbors became alarmed and decided to investigate. He evidently had kept o (sic) his room not feeling well and suffered the stroke shortly before he was found as he seemed to be warm although the room was cold. A doctor was called from Fairfield and his brother Frank of Lawrence was also called. He was then taken to the Fairfield hospital in an ambulance, although little hope was held for his recovery. He lingered through out the night and the next two days, passing away Wednesday night at 10:45. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made. Mr. Tilbury was one of the old timers, making his home in Lawrence, off and on, for many years and living in Spring Ranch the past few years. He was a familiar figure at all the Lawrence ball games and was an ardent fisherman. – Lawrence (From The Locomotive.)
