SUDDEN DEATH
 
William T. Beard Falls Dead at His Home Last Evening
 
William T. Beard dropped dead in his yard last night just before dusk.  He had 
been down town after a buggy which he had left at a blacksmith shop for 
repairs and had pulled it back by himself.  He met his wife, at the gate, and 
as she opened it for him she chided him for taking so much exertion and he 
remarked that it had about tired him out.  He finished putting the buggy in 
the barn and as he turned to step out reeled and fell almost at his wife's 
feet.
 
Neighbors were soon called and Drs. Springer and Fairchild summoned.  After 
examining the body they decided he came to his death from heart failure.
 
Mr. Beard was a member of the Knights of Pythias and will be buried today at 3 
o'clock by that order.
 
The deceased was born in California 50 years ago last October.  He came to 
Boise from Salt Lake some nine years ago and since then has resided in this 
city.  He had a repair shop on Main street.  He was a genial man, well liked 
by all who knew him.  His wife and himself were a very devoted couple.  They 
lived in a cottage on State street opposite the Synagogue.  No children 
survive the deceased.
