DEATH FOLLOWED VERY BRIEF ILLNESS


Lifting Sack Of Wheat Proved Fatal For William Thomas Atwood


(From Thursday’s Daily) William Thomas Atwood, sixty-four years and seven months old, died at eight-thirty o’clock Wednesday morning at his home, two miles southwest of Franklin. His death came as a shock to his many relatives and friends in Shelby and Johnson counties, as few of them knew of his illness. Mr. Atwood was at work at his home Monday morning in his usual health. He was taken ill shortly after lifting a sack full of wheat from a box in which he had to bend over, and declined until his death. Deceased was born in Shelby county, south of Bengal in Hendricks township, and was the son of William P. Atwood. For over thirty years he had lived in Johnson county and had devoted his attention to farming. For several years, with Mrs. Atwood as matron, he had charge of the Johnson county orphan’s home, leaving that place two years ago and moving to the home where he died. He is survived by his widow and three children — Charles Atwood, Mrs. Olga Diebel and Miss Mabel Atwood; one brother, John Atwood of Franklin, and two sisters, Mrs. Malinda Shipp, of Bengal, and Mrs. Nan Barnum of Franklin. Deceased had a large acquaintance and was greatly esteemed by all who knew him. The funeral services will be held at his late home Friday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock, the services being conducted by Rev. J.B. Ferguson, of Hopewell, and Rev. P.O. Duncan, former pastor at Second Mt. Pleasant. Burial at Second Mt. Pleasant. Contributed by Barb Huff
