Notes |
- Henry Dohner, a retired farmer of Rocherly, was found dead this morning in an outbuilding on the farm of Samuel Hitz, near Hoke's meeting house, in North Cornwall Township, where the aged man was visiting. Mr. Dohner was over 70 years of age, and apparently in fairly good health, nothing serious having been expected until his lifeless body was found. Harry Kurtz, the auctioneer and nearest neighbor to the Hitz farm, came to this city and notified Deputy Coroner Charles Weirick, who went to the farm and held the inquest. Death was found due to a stroke and apoplexy. Of late years he has not been actively engaged in the farming business, but performed small duties about the place. Deceased was the father of a family, a son, Henry, being employed by this city as head blacksmith at the well plant. He was well known in the community which he resided and was loved and esteemed by all who knew him. His death came as a surprise in the community as he lived there all his life.
