SHOCK OF SON'S IMPENDING DEATH KILLS FATHER OF MRS. L M. FISHERBOY DIES TEN
HOURS LATER
Seattle, Aug. 24. On his way to the bedside where his son lay at the point of
death as the result of an operation for appendicitis, Albert Case, 65 years old,
of 707 University street, when gently informed the boy could not live, uttered a
gasping cry and yesterday afternoon fell to the floor in the corridor in the
Seattle General hospital. When picked up a moment later he was dead, the shock
of learning of his son's impending death having brought on heart failure. Fred
Case breathed his last ten hours later and father
and son will be buried together.
Young Case had lain ill for several weeks, having undergone two operations and
the father had worried greatly, although never despairing recovery. Coroner J.
C. Snyder believes that the long walk to the hospital overtaxed the old man's
heart, but the widow said this morning that the knowledge that his son could not
survive was the cause of the fatal attack.
Albert Case was one of the early pioneers to the northwest, having lived in the
Puget Sound country for the last 4 0 years. A greater part of this time he had
conducted a grocery at 709 Pike street. He leaves a widow and a married
daughter, Mrs. I. M. Fisher, of 421 Twenty fourth Avenue South.
Albert Case was the father of Mrs. I. M. Fisher, wife of the son of Geo. R.
Fisher of Wenatchee.
