WILLIAM DICK

Well known Roaring Spring citizen, died suddenly yesterday afternoon in an 
apartment building owned by him on Girard street, just off East Main street. 
Mr. Dick was formerly in the garage business but retired four years ago 
because of failing health due to a heart ailment. Yesterday afternoon about 
2.30 o'clock he left his home at 719 Walnut street, saying that he was going 
to the apartment building to do some painting. When he did not return at 
5.30, friends went to the building, which they found locked. A door was 
forced and Mr. Dick was found dead, he evidently having expired about 4.30 
from a heart attack. He was the son of Samuel B. Dick, now deceased, and 
Mrs. Harriet Garver Dick and was born in Roaring Spring on Sept. 22, 1894.
