Rice Lake Chronotype Fri Jan 13, 1899 obituary (Rice Lake, Barron  County, WI)

HL:"Died Suddenly Thursday morning"

"Joe Robarge was found dead in bed on Thursday morning of last week.  He 
got up at the usual time to build a fire, and when they went to wake him 
for breakfast he was dead.  Apoplexy is said to have caused his death.  
The deceased was an old resident of the county having been here some 
thirty years, coming here from Canada.  Was about 64 years of age and 
was comfortably well off, having a good farm some three miles southeast 
of town, where he resided with his wife and three children, two girls 
and a boy, at the time of his death.  The funeral was held from St. 
Joseph's Church Saturday and the body laid to rest in the cemetery south  
of the city."
