He regained strength enough to walk to the home of his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Schuver, next door. The doctor ordered him to the hospital immediately. He rallied for a day but passed away unexpectedly shortly after having taken his midday meal Saturday [May 29th]. His sister and her son Lucien were at his bedside.
