Capt. James Huntley, son of the late Ephraim Huntley, of Yankee Street, died very unexpectedly at Avoca, Iowa, on Sunday last at the hotel of Mr. George Childs, formerly of this city. Mr. Huntley had been in Kansas for the past year or two, and a short time since made a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Childs, at Avoca, Iowa, Mrs. Child's being a relative of Mr. Huntley, and while there he was apparently well. On Sunday morning last he with a number of borders were at the breakfast table eating and conversing together, when Mr. Huntley fell back in his chair, he was at once taken to the door where he could get more air, but on reaching it gave one or two gasps and expired; there being a doctor present at the time, who did all he could for him, but of no avail. Heart disease is supposed to have been the cause of his unexpected death. Capt. Huntley was a brave and faithful soldier in the late war and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. His remains were brought to his city and enterred [sic] beside his father in Silver Brook Cemetery on Wednesday last.
