"He died at his home. 1514 N street...An autopsy was held yesterday afternoon by Drs. Latta, Link, Paine, Mitchell, Haggard, and Eaton, but no announcement has been made as to the result. It developed that the heart, stomach, liver, and kidneys were affected and Bright's disease was probably the cause of death." [BRIGHT'S DISEASE: Glomerulonephritis (serious kidney disease) . In the 1900s, it probably only meant kidney disease of some sort. Now it refers to a specific kind of kidney disease.] Submitted by Harold Davey
