WILLIAM SAMPSON DIES OF HEART ATTACK

William Sampson died at his home in Haigler last Monday morning at 7 a.m. after spending a hard night from severe ht attacks.   Dr. Premer was called from Benkelman when it was found that Mr. Sampson was in a serious condition and he was given treatment to give him much needed rest but no medical service could save his life.


He came to the Haigler community about thirty years ago and can well be classed with the old settlers who knew the hard work of pioneering in Dundy county.   He is survived by his wife and her daughter who were at home when he died, and four sons and one daughter. 


Funeral services were held from the Chas. Roach mortuary Wednesday afternoon at 2 p.m. and burial was made in the Haigler cemetery.
