Aged Man Called Saturday night
John Groom Could Not Rally From Shock of Broken Leg and Sank Gradually to His Death
John Groom, an old and highly respected citizen of Barkley township, and a pioneer of Jasper county, died Saturday night at midnight at his home northeast of this city. Two weeks ago he fell while alone at the house and fractured one leg and lay on the floor for some time before he was discovered by two neighbor boys, who were taking bread to his house. He was almost 89 years of age and the shock proved too much for him. He grandually sank away, taking almost no nourishment and death was due to exhaustion and old age.
The funeral was held at Trinith M.E. church in Rensselaer this Monday afternoon at two o'clock and burial made in Weston cemetery.
