clot.
Prominent Iowa farmer is called to hospital; was to undergo operation.
The Iona community, in fact, much of Murray county, was overcome with shock and sadness Monday morning when word passed about that Joe Stallman had died suddenly at the Home Hospital where he had been taken Sunday following a heart attack While it was known that Mr. Stallman had been afflicted with heart for ten years, and that of late his condition was serious, no one was aware of the gravity of the case, and his death came as a distinct shock to his family and his countless friends.
On Sunday he suffered an attack and when his physician arrived it was discovered that a blood clot had formed in his left leg. He was rushed to the hospital here and the clot was to have been removed Monday morning. Shortly before seven that morning, a second clot had formed; this one striking a heart muscle and causing almost instant death.

She is on her way home now and will attend the last sad rights which will be held Friday morning from St. Columba Church, Iona, at 9:30 a.m.
