Lifeless Body of James Malone Found Near His Home. 

On Saturday morning it was rumored about town that James Malone, a well-known 
and prosperous farmer living about a mile this side of Cottonville, had been 
killed by a bolt of lightning during the storm the afternoon previous while 
planting corn in his field. Later reports, however, set aside the rumor that 
lightening had caused his death, but that heart failure had done the deadly 
work. Mr. Malone was planting corn when the storm came up and had unhitched 
his team from the planter and was driving the horses to the barn some rods 
distant. The family noticed the team nearing the home, but that no driver was 
with them and began an immediate search for Mr. Malone, whose lifeless body 
was found some time later. 
Dr. Heneke of Bellevue was called and stated the heart trouble was undoubtedly 
the cause of his death and that he had not been struck by lightning as was 
first supposed by the family. Deceased was a man of honesty and integrity, 
quiet and unassuming in disposition a great lover of home and family, a 
splendid neighbor and a true friend. Mr. Malone is survived by his wife and 
eight children. The funeral was held Monday from St. Lawrence’s Church at 
Otter Creek. Interment was made in the Otter Creek cemetery.
