Meyers, familiarly known as “Dock” Meyers, of this county, died very suddenly a week ago last Sunday. He was perfectly well, apparently, and in unusual good spirits during the early morning. After breakfast he started over to Mr. Sallins’ place, and having proceeded a few hundred yards, stopped at a negro shanty (his father’s cook’s) to get some water. The members of the household, being about to start on a jaunt to church, he told them to go ahead, and that he would shut up the house after he had rested awhile.—Nothing more was seen of him until the family returned that evening from church, when he was found lying face downward, with his head resting on his folded arms, and one foot drawn up and lying carelessly over the knee of the other leg. Efforts were made to rouse him, but upon examination he was found to be dead. There were no marks of violence on his person, and the presumption is that he died of apoplexy or heart disease, and, evidently, without a struggle.
