BROTHERS STRICKEN
THE TWO PORTER BROTHERS DROP DEAD WITHIN FOUR DAYS.
Following quickly upon the announcement of the death of James Pprter, of Newark, Mo., comes the announcement of the death of his only surviving brother, Fillmore ("Fill") Porter, in the same Knox county, Missouri, village. James Porter, aged 68, dropped dead in the yard on his premises as he was hastening to the fence in response to a call by Postmaster Tucker, who had brought pension papers to which his signature was to be attached. This was on Monday of last week and the funeral took place on Wednesday and was largely attended.
Friday morning Fill Porter suffered a second stroke of paralysis while at his home and expired almost instantly at the age of 53 years. He was a former resident of Quincy and for a time up to two years ago occupied and worked the wheat farm on Twelfth street, north of the Soldiers' Home. The deceased was twice married. His first wife was Mrs. Marshall and his second was Mrs Miller. Mrs Miller's first husband. Rudolph Miller, died suddenly one evening during the past summer while seated in front of the McKenzie livery stable, Vermont street. Mr. Porter leaves besides his second wife one step-daughter by his first marriage and four step-children, three daughters and a son, the children of his second wife.
The Porters came from the south and were reputable citizens. The coincidence of the sudden death of the brothers is a peculiar one and the community is in mourning.
Mrs. Frank Neff, of 1205 North Fifth street, attended the funeral of Fillmore Porter, Saturday. He was her brother-in-law.

TWO BROTHERS DIE SUDDENLY
JAMES AND FILLMORE PORTEB OF NEWARK, MO, DIED WITHIN FOUR DAYS OF EACH OTHER.
NEWARK, Mo., Nov. 16.—James Porter, living two miles south of town, dropped dead in his yard a week ago Monday afternoon. He had been complaining, but his death was quite a shock to the entire community. He was aged about 68 years and was buried in the I. O. O. F. cemetery last Wednesday morning. He left a widow, one son, in Montana, two daughters, in Colorado, and two daughters, at home.
Last Friday morning the community was again shocked when the news flashed over the phones that Fillmore Porter had died very suddenly and without much warning. He was a brother of James Porter, aged 53 years, and leaves a widow and several step-children. He formerly lived in Quincy.
James Porter was going over to the fence in his yard to talk to Postmaster Tucker, who had brought some pension papers to which his signature was to be attached, when he died. Fillmore died of paralysis, and up to two years ago occupied a farm on Twelfth street, north of the Soldiers' Home, in Quincy. He was twice married. His first wife was Mrs. Marshall and his second was Mrs. Miller. Mrs. Miller's first husband, Rudolph Miller, died suddenly one evening last summer, while seated in front of the McKenzie livery stable in Quincy.
