HOLT IS FOUND DEAD AT PINE RIDGE HOME

Mitchell 'T" (Mitch) Holt, 73 years of age, was found dead in his small 
home on PIne Ridge, Monday morning Jan. 3.  A coroner's jury found that 
his death was due to natural causes, and that he had been dead for 
about a week or more.  Mail was found in his box that had been put there on 
Monday of last week.

Mr. Holt had an operation for cancer of the throat about three years 
ago and was forced to breathe through a tube inserted into the trachea or 
windpipe.  It is believed this tube became stopped up or dislodged 
causing him to choke to death.  He had not been able to talk since his 
operation, but could swallow and eat normally.

The deceased was born in Boyle County, Kentucky, the son of the late 
William and Elvira Davenport Holt.  He had lived in the Pine Ridge 
community for many years having been a worker in the timber woods and around 
the sawmills.

George Holt of Campton, a brother is the nearest relative suriving.  A 
divorced wife lives in Middleton, Ohio and an adopted son, Wilbur Holt, 
died in World War II.

Preliminary funeral arrangements at the Hearne Funeral Home indicated 
that burial would be made Tuesday in the Campton Cemetery.  Mr. Holt had 
told friends that he wanted to be buried in Middletown, O., but the 
poor condition of the body and failure to complete arrangements in 
Middletown, indicated burial in Campton.
