DEATH NOTICE
E.L CARNEY'S SUDDEN DEATH
---
STRICKEN WITH APOPLEXY SUNDAY NIGHT
---
DIED ABOUT 11:10 O'CLOCK
---
Was Sitting in Chair at His Home Read--Wife Upstairs Heard Groan--Ran Down and Found Him Unconscious--Died Before Physician Arrived--It seems he Must Have Had a Premonition
---
Edwin LeRoy Carney, well-known in Leavenworth and vicinity, was seized with a sudden stroke of apoplexy Sunday night and died almost instantly.
After tea Mr. Carney and his wife accompanied Mrs. Fitzwilliam home, returning immediately.
Mr. Carney said that he was not sleepy, and would sit up for a while and finish a book he was reading. He went into a front bed room and sat near a window, which had the screen open when Mrs Carney went into the room a few minutes later, thinking she heard a groan. She found her husband leaning half out of the window, and screamed for Omar Abernathy, who came immediately. They laid Mr. Carney on a bed, and telephoned for several doctors, Dr. Boling being the first to arrive. It was then too late to save the unfortunate man. He had not complained of being the least bit ill for several days past, and there was no suspicion of his coming death.
Mr. Carney was fifty years old, and was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was graduate of the High school here, and later took a course in electrical department in Harvard university. He was at one time justice of the peace here, and often served as police judge. He was engaged in the practice of law at the time of his death.
His father, Thomas Carney, was at one time governor of the state of Kansas.
The only surviving relatives of the dead man besides his wife are his three brothers: W.W. Carney, formerly of this city, but now of Oklahoma; Charley Carney, of Meeker, Colorado; and Harry Carney, of Lose Angeles, California.
He had no children.
DID HE HAVE PREMONITION?
It seems Mr. Carney must have had some premonition of approaching death. He made his will last week and Saturday, turned the Masonic lodge books over to W.A. Evans. He was insured for between $8,000 and $9,000. Saturday evening at six o'clock he finished taking out a policy of $5,000 in the Bankers' Union of the World. His heirs will get but two-thirds of his amount as the policy provides only two-thirds is payable if the holder dies within one year after taking it out. Mr. Carney holds a $2,000 policy Court of Honor and one in the Knights and Ladies of Security.
By the will a portion of the insurance money is left to the children of Will Carney. F.P. Fitzwilliam will be administrator of the estate.
The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the residence on the North Esplanade. Interment will be private
