A SUDDEN DEATH

A. J. Forgy, familiarly known as "Andy", died last night shortly after 10:30 
o'clock, from heart trouble. Yesterday he was apparently as healthiol as ever, 
without a complaint, the same jovial fellow greeting his friends with a smile 
or a joke as he has for years. Last evening he was at home, reading the papers. 
He went to bed about 10:40 and had been there but a few minutes before he 
expired.

He was born in Mifflin, Pennsylvania, April 20, 1819. He came to Kansas in 1871 
and located on a farm near Douglass. Later he moved to the town and opened a 
grocery store. Later he moved to El Dorado which has been his home for the last 
thirteen years. He has been in the hotel business most of this time. December 
25, 1873 he was married to Anna F. Heshley. His wife and four children survive 
him. The children are Earl, Misses Icy and Newell and Mrs. T. N. Purcell of 
Newton. Earl and Miss Icy were at home last night. Miss Newell is teaching at 
Pontiac. She was informed of her father's death by telephone and came in early 
this morning. Mrs. Purcell will be here this afternoon.

Mr. Forgy carried $2,000 insurance in the Modern Woodment of America and was a 
member of the K.P. The funeral will be from the home Sunday afternoon at 2:30. 
The funeral sermon will be preached by Rev. A. P. Aten and services will be 
conducted by the orders of which Mr. Forgy was a member.
