Died Suddenly
Last Thursday Mat Seramore [Seramur?], Sr., was about town all day, as
usual, and went home at 9 o'clock, in good health. About 12 o'clock he
awoke Mrs. Seramore and told her he believed he was dying, and in about
ten minures the last breath left him. His death is supposed to have
resulted from paralysis, having a spell of it two years ago which nearly
took him off. Mat was about 57 years of age and has been a resident of
Lake county since quite young. Funeral at Catholic church the following
Saturday.
