John Benjamin Lee, of Sylacauga, died en route to that city Sunday afternoon after he had attended the funeral of his grandson, Oliver Harold Lee at the First Baptist church here.  Mr. Lee was in apparently in good health when he was here and he died suddenly in the automobile about 10 miles north of Sylacauga.  Heart trouble was probably the cause of his death.
