DEATH OF THOMAS WARD, LEADING FARMER
Thomas Ward, a leading farmer and Republican, five miles east of the city, died about noon today at the age of 68. Though he had been quite sick for a week, few of his many friends knew that he was ill. His condition had not been alarming only the last few hours. Heart trouble was the cause of death. Besides the wife, the family includes Austin Ward of Indianapolis, Mrs. Elizabeth Rogers and Mrs. Clarence Hillerman of this city, and Mrs. John Franzman of Chicago. A brother lives in California.
Mr. Ward was born on the place where he died and was one of the strong, substantial men of the community. He was an old time Republican, taking much interest in politics, but never would accept office. A Dr. Ward, a brother, died only recently.
