Individual Details

Newberry. Feb. 21. �?Albert J. Gibson, one of the most highly respected citizens of Newberry, died suddenly early Sunday morning. Mr. Gibson had appeared to be in his usual health. On Saturday night he was at the chamber of commerce with some friends until 10 o'clock. After gong home he drunk a glass of milk, and shortly afterwards told his daughter, Mrs. O. B. Cannon, that he had a severe pain about the heart. She got a hot water bottle and applied it to his side. But it did not seem to give relief. As she turned to replenish the fire she heard a gurgling sound, and turning to the bedside saw that he was dying. She called Prof. Cannon and he hurried to Dr. Kibler's; but when the doctor arrived a few minutes later life was extinct.
