SENECA WEEKLY COURIER, Seneca, Kansas. Friday, October 22,1875. Page3.
Our city was thrown into an unusual excitement last Wednesday morning by the announcement of the death of Edward Ingram, one of the oldest citizens of Seneca. The deceased was well and about in the morning, but was taken ill just at breakfast time, and died without a moments warning. Mr. Ingram has complained for years of a choking feeling, that at times troubled him. No cause was known for the weakness and no remedy had ever been attempted.On Wednesday morning he felt ill at first, and Dr. Snyder was called in. As there seemed a vomiting desire upon the part of the patient, the Doctor gave a couple doses of ipecac. These induced nausation and and relief; but while the attendants were out for a moment Mr. Ingram died. He was found by his wife in their room at the Sherman house upon her return from a hasty call down stairs but a few moments afterwards.

At the suggestion of several parties about town, Coroner Maynard held an inquest over the deceased, with a jury of six, Findey Lappin, James Larew, W. H. Fitzwater, D.R. Vorhees, H. B. Nichols, and George W. Williams, E. Shussway, Mrs. Ingram and Dr. Snyder were the witnesses examined. The jury returned a verdict that Mr. Ingram came to his death by natural causes, and found no suspicion whatever for foal play.

Mr. Ingram was one of the old citizens of Seneca. He was 56 years old last 23d of February. He came to Kansas in August 1869. His life has been full of care and trouble, but in all he has amassed considerable property, which however is left in unprofitable state by encumbrances brought upon it by a desire on the part of Mr. Ingram to help others.

His funeral was held yesterday and the last sad rites attended by a large number of friends.
