Died of sudden heart attack on Father's Day, 1959. According to daughter Mary Alice Walden Hewitt, she was on her way out to the outhouse, passed her parents' bedroom, saw her father dressed and sitting on the side of the bed, and wished him a happy Father's Day to which he replied, "Thank you, baby." She then went out the back door and was walking across the yard when she stopped suddenly for no apparent reason, turned around, and went back into the house. She saw him slumped over on the bed where he had been sitting less than a minute or two earlier. She ran into the bedroom and screamed for her mother who was in another part of the house, but it was too late--Cecil was alreadY dead.
