Death had resulted from apoplexy, after scarcely an hour's illness. Mr. LIGHT had been in his usual health for some time past, although it was ascertained when too late that a numbness in an arm was a premonitory symptom of the disease whose attack proved fatal. On the day in question he had been engaged in light labor about his home. What he thought a slight indisposition induced him to go into the house, and he died while a messenger was gone for a physician. Mr. LIGHT's age was 66 years, 11 months. He was born at Harrisburg, Pa., and was a California '49er. On October 3d, 1852, at East Berne, N.Y., he was married to Catherine B NIMMONS, who survives him - Four children of this marriage are now living, Ex Auditor Frank LIGHT and two daughters, Mary and Kate, in this city and Samuel LIGHT of Des Moines. Deceased came to this city from Plymouth, Ohio, in 1858, and it has since been his home. He was in business for many years in the Wells block, east side, and later was quite an extensive grower of trees and fruits. For several years past he has spent much of his time in Kansas, where he was engaged in ranching. A plain, unassuming man Mr. LIGHT was an excellent and highly respected citizen. Those who were so fortunate as to know him best esteemed him most highly, and will regret his sudden taking away. Funeral services were held at the family residence Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. J.R. Wilson and Rev. A.E. Arnold conducting them. The remains were interred in the Evergreen cemetery.
