HEART TROUBLE FATAL TO ELIZABETHTOWN MAN

As he was about to quit work for the day, Wendell G. Baker, 53, of 635 South 
Market street, Elizabethtown, was seized with a heart attack, yesterday, and 
died within a few minutes.

Mr. Baker was working on the road being constructed from Elizabethtown to 
Bainbridge, and had finished work.  After putting away his tools he fell over in 
a faint, and died shortly afterward.

Deputy Coroner Frank S. Miller was called, and, after an examination by 
coroner's physician, Dr. Vere Treichler, issued a death certificate giving heart 
trouble as the cause of death.

The deceased was well known as a school teacher in many parts of the county.  He 
was a member of the Church of the Brethren of Elizabethtown.

Mis (sic) wife, Mrs. Malinda Baker, is the only survivor.

No funeral arrangements have been made.
