SANDY IS A VICTIM OF EXCITEMENT Over-exertion caused when he assisted in rescuing his invalid wife from their burning farm home early Friday caused his death an hour and a half later of Jacob B. Sandy, 69, of Lima Route 2, an employe of the state highway department. Coroner Burt Hibbard said Sandy, had been a victim of several heart attacks in recent months. Sandy and a son, Wilson, carried Mrs. Sandy from the house, which was destroyed. The fire was of undetermined origin. Loss was estimated at $1,500. The blaze apparently started high in the house near the flue, Coroner Hibbard and Deputy Sheriff John Carter, who assisted with the investigation, reported. Sandy's home, a small frame building, was located near the intersection of the N. Dixie-hy and the Slabtown-rd, about four miles north of Lima. THREE IN HOUSE SMELL SMOKE According to the story told by Sandy before he died, he and his wife and son smelled smoke about 3 a.m. and in a short time flames enveloped the building. A number of passing truck drivers stopped their trucks and assisted in carrying most of the downstairs furniture to safety. Mrs. Sandy had been an invalid for six months after fracturing her hip in a fall at her home. She was carried by her husband and son to the home of Fred Roeder, about a quarter-mile west of the Sandy home, and remained there until about 10 a.m. Friday. She then was taken to the home of a daughter, Ms. Pearl Heffner, Bluelick. Her condition at noon Friday was reported as fairly good. PLANNED TO RETIRE FIRST OF YEAR Sandy, who was employed a foreman with the state highway department, had planned to retire on Jan. 1, to devote his time to his home, his gardening and farming. A queer quirk of the fire was that a new garage which had been built to replace another that had been destroyed by a fire just a year ago was unharmed. Sandy, a native of Rockingham, Va., had resided in Allen-co about 50 years. His body was taken from the farm residence by the Bowersock and Chiles funeral home to the Harris mortuary in Columbus Grove. Surviving beside his wife and son Wilson are another son, Jesse F. Sandy, of 442 E. Pearl-st; two daughters, Mrs. Esther Baxter, Lima Route 4; Mrs. Heffner, of Bluelick; four brothers, Silas, Lima Route 5, Frank, Lima Route 2; Reuben, of Lafayette Route 1, Walter, of 900 Cole-st; tow sisters, Mrs. Harriet Wallace, of Florida, Mrs. Sally Anspach of Lafayette Route 1. Ten grandchildren also survive. He was a member of the Pleasant View Church of the Brethren. Funeral services will be conducted at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Pleasant View church with Rev. I. C. Paul and Rev. Clarence Bowman officiating. Interment will be in the Sugar Creek Cemetery northwest of Bluelick.
