Sudden Death of H.H. Haynes:  Hiram H. Haynes, Esq., a well known merchant and business man of this place [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], died suddenly about 12 o'clock yesterday (Tuesday).  He had been in his usual good health in the morning, and engaged in his garden until about 10 o'clock, when, with blood heated by exercise, he went to the house and drank copiously of feed milk and water, after which he started in a hot sun for his store.  On the way down he felt an oppression in the region of the lungs, and when he arrived at the store presented an appearance that at once alarmed his son and Mr. Latham, who immediately called Doctors Billings and Bellows, by whom every exertion was made to produce a reaction, but without avail, and he gradually sunk away, expiring at the hour named.  He was a man much respected as a citizen and business man, and his influence will be greatly missed in our community.  His age was 54 years.  Chenango Telegraph
