DEATH DUE TO  NATURAL CAUSES

Manassas, Aug. 29 -- John R. Huddle, 41, formerly of Elkton, who was found dead Sunday morning in the home of his brother-in-law, Paul Randall, at Brentsville, died of natural causes, Prince William County authorities said tonight after they received the report of the autopsy performed in the Arlington Hospital.

Sheriff Turner D. Wheeling said Mr. Huddle had a bruise on his nose and a black eye. An examination showed that he died of a cerebral hemorrhage and that he may have injured himself in falling.

Mr. Randall told officers that Mr. Huddle came to his home about three o'clock Sunday morning and appeared to have been hurt. Mr. Huddle insisted to his brother-in-law that he was all right. Mr. Huddle was then left to rest on a couch on the first floor and Mr. Randall returned to bed. When Mr. Randall arose later for breakfast he found his brother-in-law dead on the floor.

Mr. Huddle was a widower with five children. He lived at Dunn Loring and worked in Georgetown as a welder.

Funeral services will be held from the Furnace Methodist Church near Elkton, Tueday afternoon at two o'clock. The body will be taken to Elkton Tuesday morning. Mr. Huddle was a native of the Elkton community where he has a number of relatives.
