JOHN H SWISHER DEAD
Prominent Citizen of Derby Died Yesterday
John H. Swisher, one of the most prominent business men of Derby, this county, died yesterday morning at 8 o'clock after suffering several years with paralysis.
Mr. Swisher came to Kansas from Illinois eight years ago and settled in Derby, where he engaged in the lumber business. Several years ago he was afflicted with paralysis, but was able to attend to his business affairs until a very short time ago.
