Sudden Death. - Benjamin Judd, of Guilford, was found dead at four o'clock last Sunday morning, in a field near his residence. He was last seen alive Saturday evening, at sundown, when he was engaged in mowing. When found he lay across his scythe snathe, and had evidently fallen where he left off work. The occupants of the house were his wife and a young lad, who thought nothing of his absence in the evening, as he had been in the habit of visiting a neighbor, occasionally after his day's work was done, and remaining out until his family were asleep. So on this occasion, they retired, and fell asleep, and no search was instituted Saturday night. Coroner H.G. Clark was summoned, and Drs. Goodwin and D. S. Clark were sent for. An inquest was held at mid-day, Sunday, at the residence of Mrs. Judd, one mile from Guilford school house, and about five miles from Rockford. A post mortem examination was held, and the jury being instructed by the medical gentlemen as to the cause of Mr. Judd's death, found that the deceased died from a disease termed Uremia, or poisoning of the blood by suppression of urine.
Deceased was 54 years of age, and served in the 52d regiment Illinois volunteer infantry.
