WILLIAM L. CAPRON
In our last issue we stated that Mr. Capron was at his home ill and under the doctor's care, so he was. And last Wednesday morning he left a sick bed to go to Auburn on business. It was upon his return trip that evening that he met a tragic death. In transferring from the New York Central to the Lehigh Valley railroad in Geneva, he was compelled to hurry, and being a heavy man, the exertion proved very exhaustive. Shortly after the train left Middlesex he felt faint, and being unable to raise a window opposite his seat, he rushed into the baggage car, opened a side door, and before anyone could get to him fell from the moving train. Search was immediately begun, and the dead body as found by the side of the track in a pool of water. After the fall he had managed in some manner to go about twenty-five or thirty feet and to cross the track, finally rolling down an embankment. At the inquest in Middlesex on Thursday the coroners decided that the cause of death was a sudden attack of acute indigestion and the shock received in falling. The body was brought to Naples on Thursday evening and funeral services were held from the home on Saturday, conducted by Rev. D. O. Chamberlayne. Interment in Rose Ridge cemetery.
Deceased was a son of Wesley and Mary E. Capron and was born in Des Moines, Iowa, February 22, 1871, but most of his life had been spent in Springwater, Wayland and Naples. On June 30, 1903, he was united in marriage to Miss Josephine Griswold, younger daughter of Capt. and Mrs. E. A. Griswoid. Besides the wife, he is survived by four children; Blanch, aged 8 years, Mary 6, Alice 4, and Robert 1. Other survivors are his mother, Mrs. Mary Ella Capron, of Springwater, two brothers, Ralph, of Rochester, and Harold, of Springwater and two sisters, Mrs. Aubrey Haynes, of Springwater, and Mrs. George Elliott, of Manchester.
Since his marriage, deceased had resided almost continuously in Naples, and had been engaged in various enterprises. For the past three years he had been in the employ of the International Harvester Company as solicitor and collector, and it was on business for the company that he had been in Auburn on the fatal day. He had not lost a day from his duties for his company in the past eighteen months. His motto, which he oft repeated, and which by spurring him to over-anxiety to be at the post of duty was undoubtedly the cause of his death, was:
"Don't waste the time for which you're paid, But give your honest work.
'Twere well to give a little more, Than e'er be found a shirk."
Mr. Capron was a kind and loving husband and father, and to the wife and little ones the sympathy of everyone is tendered.
There were present at the funeral from out of town: W. R. Marks and wife and Miss Anna Hudson, of Canandafgua; Dr. W. H. Marks, Palmyra; Mrs. Louisa Tucker, Atlanta; Aubrey Haynes and wife and daughter, Springwater; Merton Rosenkrans, Wayland; Mrs. Thomas Pawling, Avoca; Ralph Capron, Rochester; Harold Capron, Springwater; George Elliott, Manchester; B. W. Esselyton, Harry Gaines, Ellis Haight, of the International Harvester Co., Auburn; Messrs. Pierce and Snyder, of the Geneva Chapter of the United Commercial Travelers, who brought a floral piece which bore the inscription, "Geneva N. C. T. 427."
------------------------------
To all who have tried by acts of loving kindness and tender mercy to lighten my sorrow, and to all who sent beautiful flowers which have been such a comfort to me, and to all who have assisted me to bear my great affliction in my darkest hour, I give my sincere thanks.
Josephine A. Capron.
