Local Man Dies After Falling Down Stairway

Michael Higgins, 65, died early Sunday morning at a local hospital where he was taken after falling down a stairway at his home, 115 1/2 South Federal avenue, Saturday evening.

Death was caused by a broken blood vessel in his head which either resulted from the fall or which might have cause [sic] his fall, friends said physicians told them. Mr. Higgins had been released from the hospital only a few hours after undergoing treatment.

Funeral services will be held at Ackley Tuesday morning. The Rosary was to be said at the Randall funeral home at 8 o'clock Monday evening with Father R. P. Murphy in charge.

Mr. Higgins, who was formerly employed by the Northwestern States Portland Cement company, had lived in Mason City about 12 years but had spent the most of his life at Ackley. He is survived by a brother, Al Higgins, Clutier, and a sister, Mrs. T. A. O'Brien, Parnell.
