JOHN A. STROW DEAD.
John A. Strow, a respected cit
izen of this city, died very sud
denly at his home in the south
east part of town on Thursday
forenoon of last week. The doc
tor had gone to see him, and had
just taken his temperature, Mr.
Strow remarked tljat he did not
think he had any fever, and the
examination of the doctor verified
this. The doctor had gone into
one corner of the room to clean
his thermometer, when one of
Mr. Strow's son's cried, "Look.'
The doctor turned around just in
time to see the man straighten
out rigidly,. with clinched hands
and teeth. Within a couple of
moments Mr. Strow was dead.
The doctor made up his mind
there was something suspicious
in the manner of death, so a post
mortem examination was made,
and the presence of strychnine
was found both in the stomach
and urine. Mr. Strow for some
time has thought he was afflicted
with heart trouble, and wheather
he had taken the poison for this
trouble or for some other reason
will probably never be known.
Funeral services were held on
Friday afternoon of last week.
andfthe remains were interred in
the Baxter cemetery. Mr. Strow
was an old soldier, being a mem
ber of the Baxter Post G. A. R.
He was also a member of Baxter
Lodge of Odd Fellows, who at
tended the funeral in a body.
Mr. Strow leaves a widow and
several grown sons to mourn his
death.
