Belding Banner, 24 Nov 1904

Willard Holmes, of the firm of Moulton and Holmes, painters and paper-hangers,
was found dead in bed on Monday morning by his wife who lay by his side entirely
unconscious of any trouble, and who tried to wake him to build the fire, when
she found he was dead.

Mr. Holmes was 43 years, one month and nine days old at the time of his death
and had been in usual good health right along up to the time of his death.  In
fact he went to bed feeling remarkably well and ate a hearty supper the evening
prior to his death.  Heart disease is supposed to have been the cause of his
death.  Deceased was a social member of the Modern Maccabees but carried no
insurance in the order.  He had recently taken out a sick and accident policy in
the Continental Causality Company of Chicago, but had not been in that company
long enough to derive any benefits therefrom.

The funeral was held at his late residence Wednesday afternoon, Rev. J.W.
Sheehan officiating.  The remains were taken to Smyrna for interment.
