Found Dead In Bed

A Boarder of D. W. Willguss's Dies of Heart Disease

Thomas E. Roberts of Trenton, who was boarding with D. W. Willguss of Fifth avenue, Red Bank, was found dead in bed on Friday morning. He died from heart disease. Mr. Roberts was agent for D. H. Patty, a nurseryman of Geneva, New York, and for the past twelve years he had been coming to Red Bank a couple of weeks in the fall and spring. He came to Red Bank the Saturday before his death, and although he complained of poor health, he was not thought to be seriously sick. Coroner John T. Tetley, in looking over the dead man's papers, found the address of his wife and daughter in Trenton, and of his son in Brooklyn, and they were notified. They came here on Saturday and took the body to Trenton, where the funeral was held.
