Newspaper article:  LIBERTY MAN IS STRICKEN IN CAR - Follmer Artley pulls auto up to curb just as death overtakes him, result of acute heart attack - Edward Maahs, 1140 Meade street collapses immediately across street - occurrences attract big crowd.  Hundreds of people thronged on Market Street, between Third and Fourth Streets early this afternoon, as one man died of a heart attack while sitting in his automobile along the curb and another man suffered an attack directly across the street and fell to the pavement suffering a deep gash across the left temple.  Both occurred within 20 minutes.  Follmer Artley, aged about 34 years, a well known farmer of Liberty RD1 was the victim of the heart attack.  Witnesses said he drove up to the curb about 12:15 o'clock and began gasping for breath.  One passerby ran to notify Officer Harry Weisenberger who was nearby, but by the time the policeman reached the scene Artley was dead.  His hand was still clutched on the steering wheel of his car.  Weisenberger immediately notified Dr. Robert C. Bastian, county coroner who arrived on the scene shortly thereafter.  He stated that the man apparently died of an acute heart attack.  Several cousins who live in this city arrived before the body was taken to Page's Undertaking Parlors, and confirmed the identity of the deceased.  They said that he had been under the care of a physician recently.  While Artley's body was being placed in the Page funeral car, persons began shouting from across the street that another man had collapsed.  The hundreds of persons who were jammed in the vicinity of Artley's car surged across the street.  Somewhere in the crowd were several policemen and Dr. Bastian, who had to push their way rather forcibly before they could reach the side of the second stricken man.  They found Edward MAAHS, of 1140 Meade Street, lying on the pavement bleeding profusely from a gash across the temple.  He was helped to his feet and taken in the police ambulance to the emergency room at the Williamsport Hospital where it was found that his injury was not serious.  He said he fell to the ground when he suddenly felt weak and that the wound on his head was caused as he struck the pavement.  He was removed to his home from the hospital in the police ambulance.
ARTLEY - Funeral services for Follmer Artley of Liberty, RD who died of a heart attack while sitting in his automobile early Thursday afternoon on Market street will be held at 10 o'clock Monday at his home with further services at the Friedens Lutheran Church at Liberty.  Mr. Artley was a member of the Knights of Pythias, Liberty Valley Lodge 449 and was an ex-serviceman.  He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs William Artely; by his wife and three children, Francis, Lois and Joyce; One brother, Sterl, and a sister Mrs. Dean Slout of this city, also survives.
