Read More	All night long Mrs. John A. Clontz sat upon her front porch and kept a lonely vigil for the return of her aged husband who had gone out to lock his corn crib early in the evening and did not return. The old couple, about eighty, lived alone. Monday evening Mr. Clontz went as usual to lock his crib. Mrs. Clontz retired and went to sleep. Later she woke and found that her husband had not returned, and being in feeble health, made such search as she could for him. But being unsuccessful she sat through the night on the porch waiting. Tuesday morning the body of Mr. Clontz was found at the corn crib door, his walking cane sticking in a hole in a block where he was accustomed to put it while locking the door. The door being still unlocked, it is supposed that he must have died just as he reached the crib door. He was subject to attacks of the heart and it is thought that one of these came upon him and he died instantly. Mr. and Mrs. Clontz had reared their family and continued to live alone at the old home though much advanced in years. Mr. Clontz was a Confederate veteran, a member of the Truelight church, and an old citizen held in high esteem. Their sons and daughters are Messrs. E. S. Clontz of Salisbury, W. M. and A. A. Clontz of Goose Creek and Mrs. F. E. Williams of Goose Creek, Mrs. C. T. Mills of Monroe, and Mrs. Dora Little of Georgia. The Monroe Journal Monroe, NC Friday, June 15, 1923 Page 5
