Brothers Who Were Also Neighbors Die On Same Day
POSTED: 11:28 a.m. EDT May 3, 2004
MINERAL CITY, Ohio -- They grew up together, lived across the street from each other, and served their small eastern Ohio town together.
And last week, brothers Ben and Robert McNutt died from heart attacks within minutes of each other, about 10 feet apart.
The brothers' wives arrived home Friday to find that 69-year-old Robert was motionless on his front porch. They called 71-year-old Ben for help. Then he had a heart attack too.
The brothers attended Mineral City High School in the 1950s and were Korean War veterans. Both served on the fire and police departments of the village with just more than 800 residents.
Many stopped by the houses to offer condolences this weekend.
Ben McNutt Jr. called his father and uncle "two of a kind." He says they enjoyed small-town life.
