John H., son of Otho and Martha A. Barnard, died January 12, 1901, at his home near Chestnut Grove, of an abscess resulting from typhoid fever, which he contracted in July. The deceased was in his 22nd year, and just budded into manhood. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. J. H. Howard, of Bloomington, to one of the largest concourse of friends and relatives ever seen on a like occasion. The community has met with such a loss that it cannot soon recover, as John was one of the very best young men. He was a living example - sober, quiet and industrious at all times. About ten days before his death, when the abscess opened, he told his mother, who was waiting on him at the time, that he was ready to die and requested that his sister, who was absent, meet him in heaven. We would say to the parents, brothers and sisters, weep not as those who have no hope. Dearest Johnny, thou hath left us, And thy loss we deeply feel: But 'tis God who hath bereft us He will all your sorrows heal. Wherefore should we make our moan Now your darling boy is dead; He to early rest is gone; He to Paradise is fled. You can go to him but he Never can return to thee. B.H.

Probable Drowning of a Child at Westernport. Charles Biddle, aged 8 years, who, with his mother, lived in Westernport, was last seen at school Monday evening. After school was dismissed he had not been seen or heard of since, and fears are entertained that he was drowned. A woman at the W. Va. C.R.R. depot saw the boy between 4 and 5 o'clock, and later he was seen walking up the C. & P. R. R. track, near the trestle, at the upper end of Westernport. It is generally believed that he fell from the trestle and probably drowned in the creek, as the water was very deep at the time, the freshet causing a noticeable rise in the stream. After it was re ported that the boy was drowned, Mrs. Greenwaite said she saw something in the stream which appeared like a boy in the water with his hands above the stream. The boy was very bright for a child of his age and the people of Westernport are anxious to know when and where the body will be recovered.

Mrs. Birch, wife of the editor of The Point Marion News, had planned to wed Mr. Birch in June of this year, but her illness caused the wedding date to be advanced. For the past 35 years she had been an employe of the Western Union Telegraph Company at Morgantown, having succeeded her father to the management of the office in 1927, she held that position for some years and continued her affiliation in the offices of the company until her death. A graduate of Morgantown high school in the class of 1906, Mrs. Birch devoted her life to her family, always cherishing their ideals and ambitions and never failling to offer a willing hand when opportunity came her way. She was a devout member of the Presbyterian church. Admitted to the hospital Wednesday, April 27, Mrs. Birch underwent a serious operation. She rallied and her condition seemed to improve until she suffered a relapse last Sunday. Removed to the operating room a second time last Monday morning, it was discovered that the peritonitis had developed. From last Monday morning until the time of her death she had been in a critical condition and despite her gallant fight against the odss of infection she fought a losing battle. Born November 27, 1888, at Rohr, W. Va., she was the second child of George and Ludema Shaffer Kiger.

EIGHT CASES PARALYSIS - Three Victims of Infantile Disease in Somerset County Have Died. Infantile Paralysis claimed another young life in this region Sunday. In addition a sudden outburst of the disease at Confluence in this county resulted in an extra ordinary joint meeting of the board of health and the borough council Sunday afternoon. As a result of the session, a rigid quarantine on all children in the borough for the next two weeks was ordered. All little ones are to be kept on the premises of their parents and all churches, Sunday Schools and other assemblages are to be closed until the quarantine is lifted. The little chap, who died is Coleman Karp, four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. David Karp of Barnesboro. He died at 4 o'clock Sunday morning after three days' illness. The child suffered from what is known as ascending paralysis, which begins in the feet and successive limbs until it reaches the vitals. The child died when the respiratory and cardiac centers in the medulla oblongata were paralyzed, making respiration and heart action impossible. The remains of the child were taken to Johnstown in an auto hearse and were buried in the Hebrew Cemetery at Giestown. Five new cases developed Sunday at or near Confluence, as follows: Ruth, seven-month-old daughter of Arch Kennedy of Dumas, a village near Confluence; James, two-year-old son of Frank Havner of Confluence; May, three-year-old daughter of C. A. Cunningham of Confluence; Vincent, four years old and Eva, three year old children of Albert Hyatt of Confluence. The Fox children, who first became ill at Confluence, returned Sunday to their home in Conshohocken, Pa. The situation in Cambria and Somerset Counties, outside of the places named, is said to be unchanged. Elsie, the eight year old daughter of W. A. Bird, of Listonburg died yesterday after only one day illness. There have been in the past few weeks in all thirteen cases of infantile paralysis in Somerset County.

(abridged) The heavy veil of sorrow entered the hearts of hundreds of friends throughout Llano and adjoining counties on last Friday morning as the sad message was conveyed that Albert Bird was dead, having passed away that morning at 8:30 o'clock after an illness of several weeks duration. Mr. Bird was born in Wilson county on December 22, 1876, the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Bird, who came to this county when Albert was but three years of age. They were among the early settlers and during the pioneer days when deceased was but a lad, they planned and toiled for those better conditions throughout the Hill Country. [This next paragraph is extremely difficult to read: On June 2?, 18??, he was married to Miss Gertrude Scott of Llano. Besides the wife, one daughter Alberta . . next five lines are blacked out] Strong in his convictions, Albert Bird will be missed by those who had known him so long and so well. The funeral service, which was held at the Six Mile cemetery, was attended by one of the largest assemblages of relatives and friends ever witnessed in this county. It was conducted by Rev. T. O. Rorie, Jr., who in his address paid tribute to the man for his loyalty and convictions. Immediately after the service, interment was made under the direction of Miles Buttery, local undertaker, while the pall bearers were Clyde Buttery, Albert Ricketson, Milton Ricketson, Elmon Stewart, J. D. Slator and Holmes Moss. The grief stricken wife, daughter and other relatives have the profound sympathy of all friends in their dark hour of sorrow, yet may comfort be theirs as they reflect upon the assurance that the loved one is forever free from the toils and cares of this life, and while the body rests in peace, the soul awaits their coming in the great beyond.

dob May 21, 1833; Addison, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, USA Death: Apr. 11, 1908, Clinton, DeWitt County, Illinois, USA About six o'clock when Mrs. Roy Brittin went into the kitchen at her home, she found Alexander Bird lying on the floor dead. The neighbors were notified and a doctor called who said death had been about six hours before. Mr. Bird lived in the southwest part of Clinton; about two months ago he fell and injured his hip. He became able to go about his home and most of the time to his bed. Tuesday of last week he was able to ride to the polls to vote and seemed to be enjoying life. Friday he was more thoughtful than usual, and had little to say. About seven o'clock he retired and was not seen again alive. About 10:30 when Mr. Brittin returned home he heard Mr. Bird walking in his room, but thought nothing of it, as he often heard him up during the night. The doctors said he had been dead about six hours. It is thought that soon after Mr. Brittin retired he began preparing to take his life. He had secured a razor he used when a young man, but had not used it for several years., and went to the kitchen where he took the butcher knife from a drawer. He sat in a chair beside a table and laid his crutches on the table. With the razor he had made two small cuts on his neck, and one about seven inches long across his throat. When he was found the razor was on the table, and he was lying on the floor. He left no letter explaining why he had decided to end his life, but it is thought he had become despondent over his condition and resolved to end it all. Alexander Bird was born in Pennsylvania, May 21, 1833, and went to Ohio in 1855. June 4, 1857, he was married to Elvira Roby. They came to Illinois in near 1869, and lived in Moultrie county a few months. They then came to De Witt county and lived in Harp township two years. They then moved to Nixon (?) township where they later bought 120 acres of land, which they occupied until five years ago when they bought a home in Clinton, and moved here. August 21 Mrs. Bird passed away, but Mr. Bird had continued Clinton as his home, having some family live in his house with whom he boarded. After he was crippled by the fall his son, A. J. Bird was with him over a month but never heard him intimate that he would take his life, and no one else had. Deceased was a faithful member of the Baptist church, and a regular attendant at church when able to go. Politically he was a Democrat, and was much interested in his party's success. He was a good man in every way. He is survived by nine of his eleven children as follows: W. F. and G. W. Bird of Greely, Col.; Derreck of Lany; A. J. of Weldon; J. M. of Albany, Mo.; J. H. of Birkbeck; Taylor of Decatur; Mrs. J. G. Myers and Mrs. E. J. Bennett of Creek township. The remains were taken to Weldon Tuesday where the funeral was held in the church at ten o'clock, conducted by Rev. G. W. Ballinger, of Tremont, Ill. Burial in Woodlawn cemetery.

The Rev. Dr. Andrew Reid Bird, 79, pastor of the Church of the Pilgrims at 22nd and P sts. nw, for 45 years, died yeterday at George Washington University Hospital. The Presbyterian minister who once said, "If I had a hundred lives to live, I'd want to spend all of them in the ministry," retired in 1955. As an undergraduate at Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Bird had favored law for his career, but by his senior year had changed his mind and went instead to Union Theological Seminary in Richmond. Soon after Dr. Bird came to Washington in 1910 he conducted a campaign for Presbyterian churches of the South to present a church to the National's Capital that would be a place of worship for visitors as well as Washingtonians. The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church designated the Church of the Pilgrims as a representative church for the denomination in Washington. The names of the contributing churches are recorded on the pews of the sanctuary. His crusade for "an earnest Christian atmosphere" in Washington did not stop with construction of the church. He was one of the founders of the Washington Federation of Churches (now the Council of Churches, National Capital Area). With a group of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish leaders, he also helped organize the Committee on Religious Life in the Nation's Capital. Mr. Bird is survived by his wife Lisette M.; two sons, the Rev. Dr. Andrew R. Bird, Jr., Huntington, W. Va., and Walter, of Washington; a daughter, Imogen Preston, Los Altos, Calif; 10 grandchildren, and a brother.
Lakeland -- Even after the Rev. Osar C. Bird retired from his 26-year career, he still took every opportunity he could to preach, even if it was to salesmen at his door.

It was the on-on-one aspect of preaching that Rev. Bird enjoyed the most, said his daughter, Deborah Striker of Carlinville, Ill. Rev. Bird died of lung failure Sunday (March 3, 2002) at Kindred Hospital in Tampa. He was 79. He was born in Williamsport, PA., on March 1, 1923, and came to Lakeland from Coplay, PA., in 1969.

Word was received here on Monday of the sudden death of Roy Bird, brother of Charles Bird, at Gunnison. No particulars were given in the message. Mr. Bird was employed on the railroad at Gunnison and visited here three weeks ago.
The sad news reached the city late yesterday afternoon that Samuel Bird, one of the best known railroad men of the city, had been killed at Bodus, Mich., while on his way home after a trip to Benton Harbor over the Big Four road. Bird was employed as brakeman on the local running between Elkhart and Benton Harbor, and with Conductor Q. L. Pindle and a new brakeman from Wabash, left yesterday morning on the regular daily trip. While switching some cars at Bodus, Bird went between the car at the front end of the train and the last of two cars that had been switched out on the main track in order to straight on the automatic couples, when another cut of cars was shoved down on the track, and before it was realized that Bird was between the drawheads, the cut struck the other cut and pinned Bird between the cars. Conductor Pindle tried to attract Bird's attention before the cars went together, but was unable to make him hear. Bird was horribly mangled about the hips but retained consciousness up to the time of his death and appeared to suffer no pain. The story of the accident was immediately telegraphed to this city and his wife was notified. She left on the 4:40 train and arrived at Bodus in time to see her husband and talk to him before he died. A special train was made up and on this his body was brought to this city in charge of Mrs. Bird and some railroad friends of the dead man. Today Mrs. Bird is prostrated from the shock. Mr. Bird was born in Elkhart 38 years ago, and has lived here all is life. He commenced railroading on the Lake Shore about nine years ago and went to the Big Four about three years later. For several years past he has lived with his wife and one daughter, Madge, on East Lexington Ave. He leaves four brothers and two sisters: Chester and Robert of Elkhart, Leon of St. Louis, Schuyler of Dowagiac, Mrs. Ida McCue of Chicago, and Mrs. Percy Coles of this city.

Stephen Bird, an old resident of Cairo and Bird's Point, Mo., died at St. Mary's Infirmary this morning after a brief illness due to the infirmities of old age. The deceased was 75 years old. He was brought over from Bird's Point last Monday and placed in the hospital. Mr. Bird was born in Louisiana in 1837. He came to Bird's Point with his parents when he was a boy and has practically resided there ever since. His father conducted a sawmill at Bird's Point and during the war it was removed to where Bird's Mill is now, and the deceased had charge of it ever since the death of his father. His uncle, William Bird, was one of the early settlers at Bird's Point and who afterwards settled at Cairo. Although the deceased kept his residence in Cairo, he spent most of his time in Missouri, where his sawmill interests and farm are located. He was educated by private tutors, as was the common practice of families of means at the time. He did not enlist in the war, although the soldiers were encamped at Bird's Point. He belonged to no lodge or church. The deceased is survived by his wife and two sons, Abraham, of Bird's Hill, and City Attorney Hunter Bird, of this city. He also has a brother, Andrew Bird, residing in Tampa Fla., besides two sisters, Mrs. Clara Edwards, of Union City, Tenn., and Mrs. Nannie Hunter, of Marion, Ky. The relatives have been notified of his death and are expected to arrive and attend the funeral. The funeral will be held at the family residence at Twenty-fifth and Sycamore streets tomorrow at 12:30 p.m. The remains will be interred in the family burying grounds at Bird's Point, Mo.

Thomas Bird, who has been a well known resident of Elkhart since 1873, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. George B. "Mack" Dotson, at No. 129 1/2 North Main street, at 9:30 p.m. Friday, from the infirmities of old age. Mr. Bird was born in Pennsylvania on December 18, 1815, and came to Indiana in 1853. For many years he was a farmer, but after coming to Elkhart gained a livelihood by teaming, until failing health made it impossible for him to follow the vocation. His wife, Mary Ann Bird, died eleven years ago last September, since which event Mr. Bird had lived with his children, coming to Mrs. Dotson's a month ago, at which time he was injured in a fall, and had not been able to get out since. He was of a peculiarly rugged constitution, was a constable at one time for Osolo township, and always took an active part in politics, being an uncompromising republican. He is survived by two sons, John and Ephraim Bird, both of this city, and five daughters, Mrs. John Daly of Elkhart, Mrs. B.F. Oaks of Cleveland township, Mrs. George McArthur (formerly Mrs. Eli Lusher) of St. Louis, Mrs. G.B. Dotson and Mrs. Warren Rowley of Elkhart. Two brothers, Noah and John, and one sister, Mrs. Roberts, are living in Pennsylvania. Mr. Bird was one of a family of 15 brothers and sisters, of which all preceded him in death except those mentioned above. He was the father of twelve children, seven of whom are living. The deceased had been a member of the United Brethren church for thirty years and embraced the christian religion when a young man. Funeral services will be held Monday, friends to meet at the home of Mrs. Dotson at 2 p.m. and proceed to the U.B. church on Baldwin street where Rev. D.S. Cleaver will preach the sermon at 2:30.
Thomas J. Bird died at 10 a.m. Friday at his home on Myers Street in his 52nd year. The death of Mr. Bird removes from this community one if its most prominent businessmen. Up to the time that he was taken ill, probably no man in town would have been considered more secure of a long lease of life than he, of a sturdy constitution, living a clean and temperate life, with his ambitions centered on his family and business, it seems indeed hard to be thus taken away when to live meant so much to him. From the first day of his illness nearly three weeks ago, when pneumonia developed, he was considered a desperately sick man, a Pittsburgh nurse was secured, and almost daily consultations by leading physicians were held over him. The pneumonia was broken up, then followed the measles, and last of all Bright's disease, which caused his death. The funeral services were held in the Methodist Episcopal Church at 10 o'clock Monday morning, and were the largest attended of any ever held in this town. His pastor, Brother Miller of Salisbury, preached the sermon from the text, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints," found in Psalm 116, verse 15. He read Psalm 23 and spoke words of great comfort and strength and hope to the 500 or 600 people who were there. In these services, Brother Travis assisted and very feelingly read the poem, "At Rest." The entire community extends to the bereaved friends its heartiest and sincerest sympathy in this hour of affliction. The interment was in Jersey Cemetery and was made according to the rites of the Knights of the Maccabees. He was the son of Noah and Mary Bird.
W. Scott Bird died at his home in Harnedsville on Thursday, March 18, just four days before his 87th birthday anniversary. He was born March 22, 1861, the son of Noah and Mary (Rush) Bird. Mr. Bird was an active church worker and, up until the time of his death, was Sunday school superintendent and sang in the choir. A few years ago, the State Sunday School Association awarded him a pin in recognition of 50 consecutive years of service. His wife p receded him in death nearly 10 years ago. He is survived by two foster children, Mrs. Richard Chapple and Lemon Smith of Johnstown, and by one sister, Mrs. Jennie Dunmyer, Harnedsville. Funeral services were held Monday at 1 p.m. at the E.U.B. church, Harnedsville, with Rev. John Miller officiating. Burial was made in the Grandview Cemetery, Johnstown.

Bird Brothers, C.E. and C.M., received newspaper clippings this week giving a report of the death of their distinguished uncle, Hon. Winfield A. Scott Bird, in Stormount Hospital, Topeka, Kansas, as the result of ptomaine poisoning. His first wife having died many years ago, Mr. Bird married on Feb. 4 last a Topeka widow, and while on a wedding tour in Florida with his bride, became ill from ptomaine poisoning which terminated fatally after returning to Topeka. W.A.S. Bird was born Aug. 31, 1855, in Addison Township, this county, near St. Paul's church. He received very little schooling when he was a boy. He worked from 15 to 18 hours a day on his father's farm and sawmill until he was grown up, when he attended a term or two of normal school in Meyersdale and taught several terms of country school. In 1878, at the age of 23, with barely enough money to pay his railroad fare, he went to Richardson County, Nebraska, and worked as a farm hand in summer and taught school in winter until he obtained work as a clerk in a law office in Falls City, studied law, and in 1880 was admitted to the Richardson County bar. Immediately after his admission to practice, he decided to try his fortune in Kansas and opened an office in Topeka. He served as county attorney eight years and was regarded as an expert on municipal questions. He was elected to the Kansas House of Representatives from Shawnee County in 1904 and was re-elected in 1906. He was author of the "red can law" which requires all dealers in gasoline to deliver the product in red cans labeled "Dangerous." He also introduced and obtained passage of the pure food law, and served in the 1915 and 1917 sessions. Few men in Kansas were better known in lodge circles. He belonged to all the Masonic bodies, was past Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, Past Exalted Ruler of the Elks Lodge, Past Grand of the IOOF Lodge and Past Great Sachem in the Improved Order of Red Men. He was a prominent member of the Topeka Bar Association and had been a member of the Kansas State Bar Association since it was organized. In March 1883, Mr. Bird married Miss Mary Dodge of Hiawatha, Kansas. She died a few years ago. No children were born to them. He was married in Kansas City, February 4 of this year to Mrs. Ursula M. Jones of Topeka, who survives him. Mr. Bird is survived by one brother, W.A. Bird of Listonburg, and one sister, Mrs. W.C. Maple, Berlin, Ohio.

DEATH COMES SUDDENLY TO DR CHARLES H BRACE ~ Prominent in Community Life Along Many Lines for Over Half a Century Dr. Charles H. Brace, 73 years old, for fifty years a practicing physician and surgeon in Cumberland, died suddenly at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his home, 125 Bedford street. He had been in poor health for the last year, and had been bedfast for several months, but in recent weeks had recovered sufficiently to leave his room and spend a few hours in the office. While walking in the hallway of his home yesterday he was suddenly stricken and death followed immediately. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Edith Dilley Brace. From 1879 when he began to practice his profession in Cumberland, Dr. Brace was actively identified with many phases of community welfare. From 1880 to 1895 he was a pension examiner for the United States government, served as county physician a number of terms, and as city health officer, thirty years ago, working unceasingly for community health during the time he held office. For years he was surgeon for West Virginia Central and Pittsburgh Railway, the Georges Creek and Cumberland Railway and later the Western Maryland Railroad. From 1880 to 1886 he was a surgeon in the Maryland National Guard, attached to the Second Battalion, at Cumberland. He was an ardent supporter of sports, and was president of the Cumberland Baseball Association in 1891-94 and contributed liberally for its financing, as well as the local fairs and race meets in years past. In his general practice as a physician and surgeon Dr. Brace was most charitable and generous. He gave liberally of his time and medical skill to all who sought it, especially the poor and distressed, without thought of compensation. He aided materially toward the erection of the Western Maryland Hospital and continued [as] a member of its staff since it opened for patients. Dr. Brace was born in Westernport, the son of William and Susan C. Stafford Brace. His father, a native of England, was a civil and mining engineer and was employed on the building of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from Cumberland west to Grafton, W.Va. Dr. Brace attended the Allegany County Academy, and studied engineering, mapping and surveying. He mapped out Cumberland with its first water and sewer systems. He began the study of medicine under Dr. James A. Fechtig, in 1872 and attended Hahnemannn Medical College at Philadelphia, where he graduated in 1877. He took post-graduate courses in surgery at Jefferson Medical College, in Philadelphia, and also specialized in gynecology and diseases of children. He was a member of several medical societies including the Allegany County Medical Association. Dr. Brace in his spare intervals participated in the social, fraternal and constructive life of the community. He was a pioneer member of Cumberland Lodge No. 63, B. P. O. Elks, Cumberland Aerie, No. 245, Fraternal Order of Eagles and Cumberland Lodge, No. 271, Loyal Order of the Moose. He was a member of Emmanuel Episcopal Church. Dr. Brace's oldest brother William Brace, was a member of the local bar, and later until his death a prominent attorney of Chicago, Ill. Another brother Harry was a newspaper man in St. Louis until his death, while a third brother Theodore was a wholesale clothier of St.
(abridged) WM. BRACE FOUND FROZEN TO DEATH ~ A One Time Leader of Allegany County Bar is Dead. HE DIED IN CHICAGO. He Was One of the most Astute Lawyers of the Country and Was Once in Partneship with Hon. B. A. Richmond Special to the Times Chicago, Ill. Feb. 3 --Wm. Brace, a prominent lawyer was found frozen to death near his suburban home, at Highland Park, yesterday. He was presumaby made unconscious by a fall and froze before assistance came. He was born at Westernport, Md., in 1850 and was admitted to the bar in 1871, and started to practice at Cumberland, Md. He came here in 1888. He leaves a wife and a 15-year-old son here. Dr. Charles H. Brace received word yesterday that his brother William Brace, a prominent lawyer, had died suddenly at his home in Chicago. At one time Mr. Brace was the Republican leader in Allegany county and when he left Cumberland for the west in 1888, he was regarded as the leader at the Allegany county bar. Mr. Brace was a native of Allegany county and was in his fifty-eighth year. Mr. Brace was the eldest of seven children. His grandparents emigrated from Wales and settled in Connecticut. His father was a native of that state. The father was a soldier in the Mexican war. He was wounded several times but served throughout the war. At its close he settled in Maryland and was employed in the engineer corps in the construction of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. At the closing of his engagement with the railroad company he settled in Cumberland, where he followed civil and mining engineering and surveying and devised and superintended the consturction of many of the mining improvement now in use in the coal regions. He married Susan Stafford of Virginia and their children were: William, Mary, who died in infancy; Chas. H. Cumberland; Harry C. C., lawyer, and Sue C. wife of Chas. A. Cleaves, a resident of St. Louis, Mo., Thomas, died at the age of ten years. The father died in Cumberland, in September, 1875. William Brace (son of William) received his education in Allegany County Academy, supplemented by a number of years of private instruction under the Rev. Dr. John W. Nott, formerly of Mt. Savage. He was admitted to the bar, October 18, 1871, and at once entered into the practice of his profession in the office of Judge Pearre, the later[sic] having been elected judge of the Fourth Judicial Circuit of Maryland. From the first Mr. Brace took a high rank in his profession and he built up a constantly increasing practice. In 1876 he formed a partnership with Benjamin A. Richmond under the firm name of Brace & Richmond. This [fi]rm was always in the forefront and was represented in nearly every important case at the local bar. Mr. Brace was an astute politician. He was elected to the House of Delegates in 1873 as a Republican. He was re-nominated but, with the entire delegate ticket, was defeated. He was again nominated in the fall of 1877 and was the only candidate on the Republican legislative ticket, who was elected. In the fall of 1881, he was elected over Mr. Benson Oder, editor of the Frostburg Mining Journal after a hotly contended campaign. [Social memberships omitted] On June 17, 1879, he married Maggie, daughter of James B. and Margaret Thomas, of Frostburg. Besides his wife, one son survives. The funeral will occur tomorrow afternoon at Chicago. Dr. Brace left for Chicago early this morning to attend the funeral. Mr. Brace's mother is still living and makes her home with her daughter, Mrs. C. A. Cleaves, in St. Louis. Monday, February 3, 1908; The Evening Times, pg. 1, col. 1; Cumberland, Allegany County, MD.
Lawyer is Frozen to Death in Snow William Brace, a Chicago lawyer, was found dead in the snow near his residence in Highland Park early yesterday morning. It is believed he fell while on his way home and while stunned was frozen to death. Monday, February 3, 1908; The Chicago Daily Tribune, Chicago, Illinois, pg.4
LAWYER FREEZES TO DEATH ~ Body of William Brace Is Found in Snow Near His Residence ~ DISCOVERY BY A NEWSBOY. ~ Indications Are That He Was Stunned by a Fall and Perished. A news boy on his early morning route in Highland Park yesterday came across the body of William Brace, a member of the law firm of Defrees, Brace & Ritter, frozen stiff in the snow within fifty yards of his residence. There were no evidences of foul play and a theory that Mr. Brace, while on his way home late the previous evening, had been stunned by a fail upon the slippery sidewalk and had succumbed to the cold, was supported by the verdict of a coroner's jury. Mr. Brace and Henry D. Laughlin, president of the Perry Sidebearlng company, went to Madison, Wis., last Friday to appear before the United States court there. Mr. Laughlin was to go on to St. Paul. but Mr. Brace returned to Highland Park Saturday evening. The hour of his arrival was not known. and it could not be learned if he took a train directly to Chicago, came by way of Milwaukee on a train that stopped at Highland Park, or left it at some point farther north and by interurban electric reached the suburb. Newsboy Alarmed by Discovery. Marcus Berune, a 10 year old schoolboy, who was delivering Sunday papers, approached, the Brace residence at Linden, avenue and Sheridan road by way of the former street at 6:30 a. m. As he went down an incline lending to a ravine directly adjoining the Brace property he saw a dark mass, which he behaved to be two dogs lying in the snow. He avoided it by going into the street and from there saw it was the body of a man. He was too frightened to go closer and, delivering the rest of his papers, told two other boys, Bert and George Kirby, of his discovery. The three returned and identified the body as that of Mr. Bruce. When the police had taken the body into the house Mr. Brace's partners, James H. Defrees, Henry A. Ritter, and John G. Campbell were notified. They went directly to Highland Park, where they made a thorough examination of the snow near the place where the body was found, questioned the boys closely, and when the coroner, Dr. J. L. Taylor of Libertyville, arrived they had ready for him all their information in connection with the case. Hat Crushed by Fall The body lay with the head to the north, as if the homeward bound man's feet had slipped under him on the slope and he had fallen upon his back, a belief supported by the crushing in of the back of his derby hat found under his head. There were no signs of a struggle in the snow or that Mr. Brace had moved after the fall. His small handbag was about six feet back, as if it had been thrown by the Jerking of his arms when he felt himself slipping. The contents at his pockets-money, jewelry, and papers were undisturbed. "He was a heavy man," said Mr. Dufrees, "not tall, but weighing about 180 pounds, and he always gave the impression of walking carefully as if in dread of a fall. He took little short steps and a sudden fall for a man of such extremely sedentary habits as his might easily have serious consequences. The only alternative from our belief that he was stunned by the fall and did not recover until he had been partly frozen by the terribly cold wind that swept through here, last night, is that he was attacked by heart failure, apoplexy, or paralysis, but he was not known to be subject to such ailments." Death Caused by Freezing. Mr. Brace's partners said his personal habits were uninjurious, save that, marked as they were by close application to his work and lack of physical exercise, they might leave him incapable of the a struggle with a bad storm from the railroad depot to his house, a distance of a mile over snow drifted sidewalks and in the face of a strong wind. Coroner Taylor found no external appearance of violence and announced that an autopsy was unnecessary. The jury returned a verdict of "freezing, occurring during a period of unconsciousness caused by a fall upon a slippery sidewalk." Mr. Brace had achieved an enviable reputation as an attorney in chancery cases. He practiced in Chicago for twenty years and during the latter half of that period had lived at Highland Park. He was born in Westernport, Md., Nov. 23, 1850, and was admitted to the bar in 1871, beginning practice In Cumberland, Md. He came to Chicago in 1888 and was associated with the firm at Aldrich, Payne & Defreee, which later was changed to Defrees, Brace & Ritl er. He was a member of the Chicago and the Illinois State Bar Associations, the Law institute, of which he was president in 1901, and of the Marquette, Republican, Highland Park, and Exmoor clubs. He left a widow, Mrs. Margaret Thomas Brace, and one son, William Brace Jr., 15 years old. Funeral plans have not been completed.
