Fisherman Drops Dead At His Cabin Friday Here
Funeral services were held yesterday morning at Jones Mortuary for Thomas I. Van Bebber, 65, well known Lakeport resident for the past twenty years, who died suddenly at his cabin Friday, shortly after the noon hour.
Although the deceased had not been in the best of health for a number of months and was a sufferer from a stomach ailment, heart trouble caused his passing.
Van Bebber had been sitting on the porch of his cabin prior to his death. He complained of dizziness and went into the house. His body was later found near his bed by Robert Lange, caretaker at Campers' Beach, where Van Bebber resided.
The deceased was a native of Missouri, born November 8, 1874. He came to California with his parents when a lad of four years of age. The family home was established in Mendocino county and Mr. Van Bebber resided at Hopland until he moved to Lakeport to engage in commercial fishing.
A brother Jake and a number of nieces and nephews of Willits survive.
Coroner L. J. Calahan held an inquest at the Russell parlors and the remains were taken to the Jones Mortuary Monday morning.
Interment was made in the family plot at Hopland.
