| Text | R. H. Sands died very suddenly at his home about three miles southwest of Cassville, Tuesday morning April 4. He had been sick only for a day or two and that was not thought to be serious. Sunday and Monday he had been bothered with a stomach trouble. Tuesday morning he was up and around about the house, he turned suddenly sick at his stomach and in a very short time expired. The news of his death was a great shock to his neighbors and to friends over the county as he was known to be in general good health. Mr. Sands was one of the prosperous farmers in this community. He was in every respect an excellent citizen. He was a valuable citizen to the locality in which he live was progressive and always interested in pushing for better things. As a farmer he was a leader and was successful. He will be greatly missed. He leaves a widow and four daughters and three sons. One daughter and two sons are unmarried and are at home. The funeral is to be held Thursday (today) and interment made at Horner Cemetery. |
