  Cause of Death: Coronary Thrombosis, duration 1 day due to Coronary Sclerosis, duration 4 years.

According to Grandma Sweet (his daughter), he was so grossly overweight that in order for him to be weighed by the doctor, he had to use the scales at the feed store. [I am not sure if my recollection on this is correct. It may have been her Grandfather William Southworth, Madaline's father, who was soobese. Which may be the reason he died so young. I remember her saying thathe (whichever one it was,) dropped dead suddenly. D.Sweet] Had something todo with the beginnings of IBM. Have not found any mention of this anywhere though.
