Theodore Conklin, many years ago a resident of this community, died suddenly in Brooklyn on May 26 from heart disease, aged 60 years. He was a resident of New York and had called upon a friend employed in one of the public buildings in Brooklyn. Together they had gone for a walk and while on the street Mr. Conklin was suddenly overcome by heart trouble and died without speaking. The funeral services were held at the residence of his sister, Mrs. William Collins, Brooklyn, on May 29, and interment was in Greenwood. Mr. John Stevens, of this place, is a half brother on Mr. Conklin, and was in attendance at the funeral.
