Picnic Dinner Is Fatal.
Silas W. Corey, Jr., sixty years old, died suddenly at Fort Dodge. He ate salad dressing at a plcnic and had been ill ever since, but not seriously until a short time before his death. He was a pioneer settler and a prominent coal man.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows he is buried in Oakland Cemetery in Fort Dodge and that he was born May 1848.
