Sudden Death

  One day last week, as Mr. John Friese of Blair County - widely known 
as the proprietor of "Friese's Hotel," at the foot of the mountain - 
was returning home from Cresson in a sleigh, by himself, he was seized 
with a sudden illness which speedily terminated his earthly career.  It 
is not known precisely when and where he died as we are informed that 
when discovered he was lying stiff and cold in the snow on the other 
side of Summittville, the sleigh having upset and thrown him out.  An 
inquest was held on the remains and a verdict retuned to the effect 
that the deceased came to his death by reason of an affection of the 
heart.
