    • Danville Man Dies Suddenly In Trailer
      Chester Alkire, age about 50, of Danville, died suddenly in his auto trailer parked at the side of Route 36 across from the Texaco station in Tuscola about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday. He was taken immediately to Jarman hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
      Alkire, a lumber salesman, had called at the Jones Lumber company earlier in the day. He became ill as he and his wife were enroute south on Main street, leaving Tuscola. They pulled to the side of the highway. He entered the trailer, where he died almost at once.
      The body was taken to Sidell by the Waddington ambulance.
