The Ionia Sentinel, Friday, July 11, 1873


Sudden Death.—Mr. Wm. H. Joy of St. Louis, Mo., a man over 70 years old, and an 
uncle of Mrs. Curtis Merrifield, came to Iona on the noon train on Wednesday, 
the 9th inst., and immediately proceeded to Mr. Merrifield’s residence.  During 
the afternoon and evening he was cheerful and apparently well, and conversed 
freely with his friends until about 10 o’clock, when he retired to bed, saying 
that he did not get any sleep the previous night while crossing Lake Michigan.  
The following morning he did not appear at the breakfast table, and his friends 
concluded not to disturb him for a time, but becoming somewhat anxious, they 
entered his room, and found him lying partially across the bed as if after 
removing his clothing, and about to turn down the covering of the bed, he had 
suddenly fallen, as they found him, in the embrace of death.  He had been 
subject to a disease of the heart, which was the probable cause of his sudden 
death.
