Wright Brower Dies Suddenly
Wright Brower died very suddenly last Saturday afternoon. He had been in poor health for some time. Saturday he had attended a meeting of the Deer Creek Township Board at Glade and was driving home. Someone in a car behind him saw him lurch to one side of the car and then the car wobbled back and forth in the road and finally ran into the bank and fence, killing the engine. Parties rushed to his assistance and found him in a dying condition. He only lived a few minutes. The cause of his death is supposed to be heart failure.

The funeral will be held this afternoon, and burial made in the Kirwin Cemetery. It was intended to have had the funeral yesterday, but some relatives from the east did not arrive on time.
