MICHAEL FRUITS DEAD AT ALAMO
WELL KNOWN RETIRED FARMER IS DEAD
ILLNESS OF A MONTH
His Funeral Will Occur Sunday -His Death Recalls Tragic Death of Son, James
Several years Ago
Michael Fruits, an aged resident of Alamo, and for many years a well
known resident of Ripley township, died at the home of his son, Otis Fruits,
Thursday afternoon at 6 o'clock. The deceased has been ill for the last
four weeks and his death comes as no surprise to the members of the family.
Mr. Fruits has lived in Ripley township practically all his life. His wife,
Mrs. Fruits, has been dead for some time. There were six sons in the family
and four of the boys survive their father. One son, James, met a very
tragic death in a saw mill explosion many years ago. The four sons that are
still living are Howard, who lives north of the city, and Otis, Samuel, and
Hadley Fruits who reside in Alamo. The funeral services will be at Alamo
Sunday morning at 10 o'clock and the interment will take place at the
Yountsvillle cemetery. Rev. J. H. Elder of Crawfordsville will officiate.
Mr. Fruits was a member of the Masons, and that body will have charge
of the services. James Fruits, a son, met a tragic death many years ago,
when the boiler of the Fruits saw mill exploded, scalding him so badly that
he soon died.
*Note, Mrs Fruits, Mary Jane Thomas, daughter of John & Jane Thomas
*Note, Michael & Mary Jane Fruits are both buried in O'Neal Cemetery
