Sudden Death - We are compelled to chronicle this week the sudden death of Cornelius Hulshart, Jr., son of Mr. Cornelius Hulshart, of Matawan (formerly of Morristown). For several years he has been afflicted with heart disease, and this, with a wound received in the late war, has incapaciated him from much physical labor. He was otherwise, however, in usual health, and on Sunday evening attended service at the Methodist Church. After services he went home and retired as usual, and slept soundly until after five o'clock. At about half past five, on Monday morning, his brother heard a sound as of struggling in Cornelius's room and hastened to his relief, but when he got there life had evidently just left his body.
