Obituary
GUILFORD.
Sudden Death of John Slyfield.
John Slyfield, 68, a resident of this place for the past 18 or more years, was found dead in his bed Tuesday evening, evidently having died sometime during Monday night. He was found by C. K. Field, who at first thought him asleep. He eveidently passed from sleep to death without a struggle. Mr. Slyfield was a veteran of the civil war and served four years in a New York regiment, being wounded, which made him lame for life. He receieved a pension and has lived for a number of years in the small house near the Flagg homestead. He was a quiet, peaceable resident, and enjoyed making daily calls among his neighbors.
