C. R. HUTCHINS DIES SUDDENLY SUNDAY

 

Suffers a Heart Attack Sunday Morning While Shoveling Snow at Farm Home In the Town of Unity.

 

Clarence R. Hutchins, 66, died of a heart attack Sunday morning, Jan. 5, 1941, while shoveling snow at his farm home in the town of Unity, four and one-half miles northwest of Spencer.  He left the house about 9 o’clock, Mrs. Hutchins said, to shovel snow, and about an hour later was found where he had fallen over onto the ground, dead.
