It was while sitting in the piaza that Mr. Hinson was taken ill and in a few moments he was suffering great agony. Dr. Padger who was making a call at a house near by administered stimulus and did everything he cold to relieve his suffering but the attack was so severe that death ensued in a few minutes.
