OPERATION IS FATAL
FINLEY BLACK, OF MICHIGANTOWN DIED FRIDAY.
Did Not Rally From Effects of Operation to Relieve Intestinal Hernia -- The Funeral Sunday.
At 1 o'clock Friday occurred the death of Finley BLACK, at his home in Michigantown. His demise was due to shock from a surgical operation to relieve intestinal hernia. Mr. Black was taken sick about a week ago and thought his illness was due to a strain while shoeing a horse. He continued to grow worse until the attending physicians determined that the trouble was due to hernia and that an operation was the only thing that could stay the hand of death. The operation was successfully performed yesterday morning by Dr. Eastman, of Indianapolis, assisted by Dr. S. B. Sims, of this city, Dr. Suhre, of Forest, and Dr. C. A. Zinn, of Michigantown. The operation was a success from a surgical standpoint but the patient failed to rally and died without recovering consciousness.
The deceased was sixty-two years of age, having been born in Montgomery county, August 18, 1842. He came to this county in early manhood and took up his residence in Michigantown, where he followed the trade of blacksmith. He served as a member of Co. B., 154th Ind. in the Civil War. He was married April 18, 1869 to Mrs. Hannah REED GRAY, who survives him. He is also survived by one daughter, Mrs. Walter D. KELLY, and one step-daughter, Mrs. A. R. LOWDEN, of Michigantown, also one sister, Mrs. Mary WILMOTH of Indianapolis, and a brother, Uriah BLACK, at the Soldiers' Home at Marion.
The funeral services were held Sunday at the residence. The burial was at the Whiteman cemetery under the auspices of the G. A. R. to which he belonged
