“ Folda had spent Tuesday in West Point and he had spent Wednesday about his home in Clarkson as usual. Mr. Folda evidently decided to drive his car to town early Wednesday evening and had gone to his garage to start the car. Mrs. Folda happened to go into the kitchen and noticed a light in the garage. She went out to investigate and found Mr. Folda in the car suffering severe pains in the heart region. A physican was immediately summoned. Mr. Folda passed away as he was being carried to the house and before the arrival of the physician. Death was due to a heart attack. ”
