Sudden Death of a Farmer

New York, 1895

Abram Bennett of Queens dropped dead yesterday morning from heart disease. He was a well known farmer and an exemplary citizen. He went to the breakfast table in good spirits and ate as heartily as usual. As he arose from the table he fell to the floor and died in a few seconds. He was about 52 years of age and leaves a widow and one daughter.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, N.Y., Jan. 18, 1895, unknown page number.
