Death Announcement and Obituary
J.T. Shields Has Stroke at Work and Dies
Plumber Falls Unconscious in Home of N.D. Belknap After Speaking of Peculiar Odor – Was Secretary of Owls
John T. Shields, a plumber employed by George R. Mitchell of [can't read], died in St. Luke's hospital on Friday from a stroke of apoplexy sustained at his work,
Falls in Walking.
Mr. Shields went to the home of N. Deyo Belknap to do some repair work, asked Mrs. Belknap if there was not a leak of gas about the house. She replied that there was not to her knowledge, but Shields remarked that the odor was becoming perceptibly stronger and he would investigate. Going to the kitchen, Mrs. Belknap following, he was about to investigate. He had entered the room but a short distance when he reeled and was falling when Mrs. Belknap caught him.
The daughter of a physician, she recalled the situation at once, telephoned to St. Luke's Hospital for the ambulance, and secured first aid. Dr. Kane and Dr. Hoyle attended the sufferer, but he died soon after he was taken to the hospital. Mrs. Belknap realized from the manner to which the man acted that it was a stroke, and the impression of an odor of gas was but the working of natural causes that ended with the rupture of the blood vessel on the brain. Hardening of the arteries and high blood pressure on the cerebral section of the system doubtless caused the rupture. He had been complaining for some time past of pains in the head and probably to the causes that led to his death.
Mr. Shields was secretary of the Newburgh Nest of Owls and a member of the plumbers' union. Born in this city on August 4, 1880, he was the son of Frank and Margaret O'Connor Shields. He married Agnes Collins of Walden who survives him as so several children, Mary, Helen, Agatha, Margaret, Anna, Dorothy, John and Francis. Miss Margaret Shields of Monticello is a sister.
Funeral services will be held on Monday at 10:15 at the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Harold Thompson, of Maybrook, and at St. Patrick's church, Newburgh, at 11:45, when a requiem high mass will be observed. Members of the plumbers' union and Owls will attend. Internment will be in Calvary cemetery by Donahue & Sons.
