PLYMOUTH MAN DIES SUDDENLY
 
Walter W. Stokesberry, New Plymouth Teacher Found Dead At Home
 
Sheriff Harold Gurnsey and Dr. J. C. Woodward, acting as coroner during the 
absence of Coroner Edith Landon, last Wednesday afternoon were called to New 
Plymouth to investigate the sudden death of Walter William Stokesberry, 
teacher in the New Plymouth high school, who had been found dead at his home 
on the Black Canyon project.  No evidence of foul play was evident and Dr. 
Woodward was on the opinion that death was due to natural causes and no 
inquest will be held.  The body is at Landon's in this city and funeral 
arrangements will be made as soon as relatives can be contacted.
 
Mr. Stokesberry, about 60 years of age, was in charge of his mathematic 
classes at the New Plymouth high school on Tuesday but did complain of not 
feeling well.  He failed to show up at the school on Wednesday.  At the close 
of school Superintendent Riddleberger went out to the Stokesberry farm and 
found him lying on a davenport dead.  He apparently had gone home Tuesday 
evening and attended to his chores and then laid down where he passed away, 
officials are of the opinion about nine o'clock Tuesday evening.
 
Mrs. Stokesberry and a daughter had left several weeks ago for Mayos and from 
there they had gone to Lismore, Minnesota and officials have not been able to 
contact them as yet.  W. H. Godschalx and Bryant Reador, friends and neighbors 
of the deceased, have been left in charge of his property pending the arrival 
of relatives.
