Newton Israel, 73 years old and a member of one of the pioneer families of the eastern part of Benton county, died suddenly at his home on Prairie creek, seven miles east of Rogers. His death was attributed to a heart attack. Mr. Israel apparently had been in good health and was in Rogers Saturday. Sunday morning he arose at his usual time and kindled the fires and returned to his bed. A short time later members of the family noticed he was breathing heavily but thought he was asleep. A few minutes later it was discovered he was dead. Besides his widow, Mrs. Lula Walden Israel, Mr. Israel is survived by a sister, Mrs. Jobe Key of Rogers; a half-sister, Mrs. S.W. Allen, Grove, Okla. and three half-brothers, C.C. and Frank Pace of Rogers and Albert Pace, Pawhusha, Okla. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at Pace's Chapel near Mr. Israel's home.
