DROPPED DEAD
----------
A.M. Caswell of this City at Summer Home at Lake George Monday Morning
---------

With a suddenness that startles beyond the understanding of those who have not been placed in like position flashed the sad news over the wire Monday morning to an only daughter, in this city, Mrs. Frank Hogue, that her father, A. M. Caswell, had passed away at his summer cottage on the banks of beautiful Lake George near Fremont. No warning had been given that the death angel was knocking at the very door but he came unexpected at an hour when all the world is taking on new life for a day of labor. He had finished his breakfast about 6 o'clock and sat back for a rest. In a moment he fell to the floor and all was over. Death had done its work; the heart had ceased to beat and push the blood longer on its ceaseless way. He had answered the last summons.

The deceased was about seventy-eight years of age and for many years was engaged in the hardware business at Fremont. Last October he came to this city with his aged companion and since that time made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Hogue. A few days ago they went to the lake to spend the summer in their cottage expecting to return in the fall and occupy the Hodge property on Cedar street which they had purchased but it was not to be thus.

He leaves an aged companion, one son, A. A. Caswell, near Fremont and one daughter, Mrs. Hogue. He was very fond of his little grandchild, little Miss Frances Hogue, and the last couple of days expressed a great desire to see her. To gratify this desire Mrs. Hogue and little daughter had expected to go up there and spend a few days. The interment will be at Fremont.
