Word was received in town yesterday morning that Charles E. Marlin, who lived near Orafino, had been found dead in bed at 4 o’clock, a.m. Dr. Case was summoned and an examination disclosed the fact that death had resulted from heart failure. It seems that Mrs. Marlin had been partially awakened by his struggling, only to be fully awakened to the realization that he had passed beyond all human aid.

Mr. Marlin was fifty-three years of age. One child, a son, and his wife survive him. Four brothers and a sister are also left to mourn his untimely end. They are William, Ethan and Grant of Scottsbluff; Cicero of Iowa and Mrs. Ella Castor of this county.

Mr. Marlin moved to his farm in Lower Medicine precinct in 1885 where he had since resided. The sympathy of the community is with the family in their affliction.
