From the Daily Star of Saturday, June 30
Mr. John Barrett, aged 60 years, an old and respected resident of this city, died suddenly this morning at 7 o’clock from an attack of heart failure, while at work on the farm of S. Bronson, one mile east of here, on Yankee street. Mr. Barrett left home this morning apparently in good health and spirits. When he reached Mr. Bronson’s he went to work with a vim for one of his age and joked and laughed with his fellow laborers. Suddenly, in stooping over, he was attacked with heart disease and before help could reach him he expired. His relatives were immediately notified and his remains were brought to this city and taken to the home of his daughter, Mrs. James Johnson, on the corner of Third and Sycamore streets.
