Adam Cart Dropped Dead at 11:40 O'clock A.M. - He Was Supposed to be in Excellent Health
The sudden death of Adam R. Cart, aged 65 years, occurred at 11:40 o'clock today at his home, 907 South Main street. He was assisting in cleaning the downstairs rooms of his home and was sweeping the carpet when he was the victim of an attack of apoplexy and heart failure. After staggering backwards he fell violently to the floor where he was found by his wife. Dr. Anna Grover Kaufman was summoned and arrived shortly after 12 o'clock. Dr. C.W. Merrill, who was returning to his home on South Main street, was called by the neighbors and hastened to the Cart residence, but the old gentleman had expired. The physicians are certain that death was instantaneous and was caused principally by apoplexy, although the deceased had suffered from heart failure. The sudden death is a severe shock to the nervous system of Mrs. Cart, who was overcome by the excitement.
Adam Cart was a pioneer settler of Elkhart county, having come from Greenbrier county, Virginia, with his parents in 1836. He was but 9 months old and his parents located on a farm near New Paris. He was the last of the Cart family and was known throughout northern Indiana as a prosperous farmer. Ten years ago he came to this city and has resided on South Main street since that time. He was a devoted husband and did all within his power for the welfare of his adopted children: Mrs. Charles Stocker, deceased; Miss Lillian White, Clifford Cart, Mrs. Jacob Peffly and Claude Stocker. The arrangements for the funeral have not yet been made.
