Mr. Billington’s death was sudden and a surprise to his numerous friends and relatives as he succumbed to a heart attack suffered in his home at 1:15 Monday afternoon. He was 82 years and 7 months of age, having been born Sept. 29, 1876, at Ithaca, N.Y.
His passing is mourned by his wife, two daughters, Mrs. Wallace (Leone) Sharpe, Fairfield, Mont., and Mrs. Norman (Mildred) Backus, Valparaiso, Ind., and four grandchildren.
