A SAD AND SUDDEN DEATH.
Mr. II. II. Sailliiir.v Drops Demi In Front of Young
A merleu F.nulue House.
One of the saddest and most sudden deaths
that has occured in this city in a long time was
that of Mr. H. R. Sedbury, who dropped dead in
front of Young America engine house last night.
An alarm offlre was sounded a few minutes after
8 o’clock. Mr. Sedbury was at the Georgia Home
corner at the time and ran hurriedly toward the
engine house. When within a few steps of the
front door he suddenly fell to the sidewalk. Sev
eral young men saw him fUll and two or three of
them ran at once for Dr Grimes. When Dr.
Grimes reached Mr. Bedbury he examined him
careftilly and found that he was dead. The re
mains were carried into the engine house, and
were shortly afterward taken to the home of the
family.
Mr. Bedbury was one of the oldest members of
Young America, and was for a long time the en
gineer. He was n faithful and enthusiast^ fire
man. and it was his devotion to this voluntary
work that final’y cost him his life. He had been
affected by heart disease for some time, and un
doubtedly the exertion of running and the ex
citement caused a flow of blood to the heart,which
caused death.
Mr. Sedbury was at one time a member of the
police force and was u good officer. He was a
warm-hearted and honorable man and had a host .
of friends who will learn of his death with sor- ,
row. He
