APOPLEXY CAUSE OF A SUDDEN DEATH
Peter L. Coyne, Aged 31 Years, Drops Unconscious Saturday Night
Peter L. Coyne, 322 DeWitt street, was suddenly stricken with apoplexy, early Saturday evening. He died at 11:00 a. m. Sunday at his home. After eating a hearty supper Mr. Coyne went downtown feeling in unusually good health. He and some friends went to the Strow billiard parlors on lower Central avenue and played several games of pool. After a time Coyne left the pool hall. He had just walked to the sidewalk when he fell unconscious. He was found shortly afterward and was taken to his home.
At about 4:00 a. m. Coyne regained consciousness for a short time but soon sank again into a comatose state. During the time he was conscious he recognized his relatives who were in the room. At 11:00 a. m. Sunday morning he died, without regaining consciousness.
Coyne was thirty-one years old and for the past twenty years has lived in Fort Dodge. He was employed as a teamster for Chauvet Brothers and has been with them for some time. He was unmarried and has made his home with H. J. Coyne, a brother (sic, his father).
There are four sisters, two of whom live in this city, Mrs. F. E. [Katheryn] Tour, 549 Third avenue north, and Mrs. M. W. [Sarah] Francis. Three brothers also survive the deceased man, John Coyne, H. J. Coyne and another brother [Andrew] in Los Angeles.
The funeral will be held at 9:00 a. m. Tuesday at the house 322 Dewitt street and at 9:30 a. m. at Corpus Christi Church. Burial will be in Corpus Christi cemetery.
