- An Aged Farmer Died Suddenly
Samuel Dine Dropped Dead Today At A Neighbor’s House
Was Civil War Veteran
Arranged With A Neighbor to Drive to Nashville-Shortly After His Arrival He Dropped Dead at the Doorstep.
Samuel Dine, a prominent farmer near Spearsville, Brown county, dropped dead this morning between 7 and 8 o’clock at the home of a neighbor.
Mr. Dine and a neighbor, Arnold Schaefer, had planned to go to Nashville together this morning, and Mr. Dine was to meet Mr. Schaefer at the latter’s home. Upon his arrival at the Schaefer home he learned that the man had broken his promise and had departed for Nashville some little time before his arrival.
Accordingly he started to return to his home and he had barely made his exit from the Schaefer home when he dropped dead, heart trouble being the cause.
Veteran Soldier
Mr. Dine was a man of about sixty-three years of age and was a veteran of the civil war. He is survived by several grown children who live in different parts of the state. He was well known and well liked by his many friends in Brown county and his sudden death comes as a severe shock.
He was a member of the Christian church and services will be conducted tomorrow at that place of worship at Spearsville.
The Republic, Columbus, Indiana. Thursday, 17 October 1901.
