Our citizens were startled last Thursday by the report of the sudden death of Martin CHRISTENSON. He had been sick for several weeks, but was to all appearance convalescent, and had been down town three or four times, so that all thought of danger had passed from the minds of his family and friends. On the afternoon of that day he fainted in the store of Joseph & Pinkous, but rallied perfectly and seemed none, the worse after going home. He sat at the table with his family and ate quite heartily, but immediately after fainted, and by the time he was got onto the lounge had expired.
He leaves a wife and one child, who will receive the sympathy of all.
Two of his children died of diphteria this spring, leaving the mother now doubly bereaved. (28 Apr 1887)
