DAVID LEE EMERSON

  GRANTSVILLE, Md., Oct. 3 - David Lee Emerson, 62, a farmer who resided five 
miles east of Grantsville along the National Highway, near Guntertown, was found 
dead in a field, near his home on Monday night, Sept. 24, between 9 and 10 
o'clock.  He had resided in Garrett County only a few years.
  He failed to answer the call of his wife, when she went out to investigate why 
he was staying out so late.  Entering the field where she knew he had been 
working, she found him dead beside a truck from which he had been unloading 
dirt.
  State police who were called notified Dr. E. I. Baumgartner of Oakland, acting 
deputy medical examiner of Garrett County, who after examination of the body 
concluded that the man had died of a heart attack and was dead for some time 
before his wife found him lifeless in the field.
  Surviving besides his wife, Mrs. Aurelia Robeson Emerson, is one son, Lee 
Emerson, of Cumberland.
  Funeral services were conducted at his home, Thursday afternoon, by Rev. 
Oliver Walters, pastor of the First English Baptist Church of Frostburg, of 
which Mr. Emerson was a member.  Rev. W. D. Reese, pastor of the Welch Baptist 
Church, assisted.  Interment was made in the Allegany Cemetery, Frostburg.  
William Winterberg, funeral director of Grantsville, was in charge of the 
funeral arrangements.
