Sudden Death in Windsor

Mr. Daniel* Fake, aged about seventy-nine years, residing in Windsor township, 
died very suddenly Monday morning.  At nine o’clock his wife left him at the 
stable at work clearing it up, while she went into the field after some 
potatoes.  Two hours later after her return, she imagined that she heard 
something fall, up stairs in the house, and becoming alarmed, she called out for 
her husband, and receiving no reply, hastened up stairs, where she found him 
lying on the floor in their bed room.  She summoned her neighbors, who promptly 
responded, but when they arrived Mr. Fake was dead.  It is supposed that his 
death was instantaneous at the time of his fall to the floor.  Dr. John Ahl, 
coroner, was at once notified, and requested to hold an inquest, and this 
morning he, accompanied by Dr. M. J. McKinnon, repaired to the place for that 
purpose, when the following jury was impaneled:  J. C. Morgenthaier, Samuel 
Sherer, Christian Schwartz, Henry Morganthaler, Samuel Weaver, and Eli Sharer.

After fully investigating the case, and hearing the opinion of the Doctor, the 
jury were convinced that Michael* Fake died from heart disease, and rendered a 
verdict to that effect accordingly.
