Hambel was a bachelor, about 56 years of age, and owned a small farm which he worked, living alone. L.F. Farmer, a neighbor, on Saturday going to see Hambel on a matter of business, found the door locked; and, being unable to make himself heard, looked through a window and discovered deceased lying motionless across a bed on his face. Other neighbors were notified, and a door was forced open. From indications death had occurred more than 24 hours previous. Hambel had not been seen since Thursday evening, at which time, however, he appeared to be in his usual health. Squire J.N. Rose, of this city, who had been delivering a Memorial address at Fredericktown, was sent for to hold an inquest. It is probable that a post mortem examination will be held. It is believed, however, that death was the result of heart disease. There was no appearance of violence. Hambel had been an almost life-long resident of St. Clair township. He was brother in law of Mrs. John Hambel (nee Smith), of this city, and beside John – who is in business in Pittsburgh – deceased had also a brother, Samuel, living in Kansas. Deceased was well known in this city. This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/ohfiles/ File size: 1.8 Kb
