  DEATH CLAIMS WIDELY KNOWN COUNTY DOCTOR
  Dr. S. B. Geise, of Sunbury, Dies in South Carolina.
  Dr. Samuel B. Geise, 62, prominent Sunbury physician and surgeon, died suddenly yesterday while hunting quail near Alcohe, South Carolina. Death resulted from an acute heart attack.

Wentzel and Leroy Fleming, of Sunbury, and R. Smith, of Winfield, on a hunting trip into North Carolina. The party left Saturday to spend a week in the southern state.
  It is believed Dr. Geise overexerted himself while tramping fields and thus further weakened a previously impaired heart.

He was a close associate of Dr. Harold Foss, of the Geisinger Memorial Hospital, Danville, and the two frequently operated together in surgical clinics.
