DROPPED DEAD

H. H. Britain, a farmer living near Hunnewell, dropped dead late yesterday afternoon in the field while going after his cows. He was about 60 years of age, and had no family except a daughter who is teaching school near South Haven.
The Wellington authorities were notified of the death last night, but decided this morning that an inquest was not necessary, as investigation showed there were no marks of violence. The deceased was the third brother is the family to drop dead. He was a well known citizen of the south part of the county, and was formerly township trustee. – Wellington Journal.
