JOhn COlwell [86?] died suddenly about 6 p.m. on Thursday at the house of his son Oscar B. Colwell, a local concrete contractor who resides at 1280 Coffeen street Mr Colwell had been in failing health for several years. He was about the houseas usual yesterday morning but late in the afternoon he suffered a heart attack from which he died within a short time.
