Canadian man Dies Here Suddenly Tuesday

Ivonne Eldon Hartshorne, 30, a Canadian, died at the Kenneth Alexander home in northwest Lusk early Tuesday of an epileptic seizure.

He and his family were in an auto accident near Lusk last summer while enroute from Canada to California and Mrs. Hartshorne was in the hospital for some time. After going to California he was unable to find work and recently returned to Lusk.

He was staying at the Alexander home prior to going to work for Alexander and Gib Wright in hauling water to oil wells in North Niobrara. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander had gone to South Dakota for a few days and had just returned about 2:00 a.m Tuesday. Mr. Hartshorne got up to make them some coffee and died while sitting in a chair.

No funeral arrangements have been made. The family has several children.
