JOSIAH INGRAM IS FOUND DEAD IN BED
Prominent Farmer Near Bismarck Sucumbs to Heart Trouble Thursday At Early Hour in Morning
DECEASED A MAN OF HONOR - MANY IN DANVILLE HEAR OF DEATH WITH SORROW
Josiah Ingram, one of the best known farmers of the county, was found dead at his home near Bismarck Thursday morning. He had been suffering with heart disease that doubtless caused his death.
About 4:30 o'clock, Mrs. Ingram, wife of the deceased, went to his room and found her husband dead. The summons came between that hour and 4:00 o'clock as the wife heard the deceased when she arose a half hour before she went to his room. Mr. Ingram had been in poor health for some time, but not seriously ill and made no complaint of not feeling well when he retired early Wednesday evening.
The deceased was 68 years of age and no man in Vermilion County was held in higher regard. He was as honest as a man can be and in every way a good citizen. To many in Danville, the end of his life means sorrow and regret. Mr. Ingram was born in Ohio and came to this county in 1854. He served through the Civil War, was captured by the rebels and spent 18 months in rebel prisons. He is survived by his wife and eight children, four daughters and four sons. They are Mrs. Margaret Finney, Mrs. Belle Finney, Mrs Elizebeth Smith, and Mrs. Ella Claypool. Albert, William, Garfield and Earl Ingram. The deceased was a brother-in-law of Police Magistrate O. Phillips. He was a man of influence and some wealth owning a splendid farm near Bismarck.
