Death Comes to Samuel G. Pass Near Midnight Wednesday.

At 11:40 o’clock Wednesday night at the home' of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Medicus on Cullen street, occurred the death of Samuel G. Pass. Three doctors were'with him when the final summons came and everything had been done to stem the tide which had been .carrying him away for several days. Death was caused by valvular heart trouble frotn which he had been a sufferer for several months, but which* took a severe turn only a few days ago. Pneumonia also attacked the sick man and hastened the end. Samuel Pass was 61 * years and 11 days of age and came to Jasper county in the fall of 1863, when only 13 years of age. He had resided in Gillam and Barkley townships ever since, with the exception of a short time in 1909, when he lived on a farm he ; purchased in Pulaski county and where his wife died on October 12th, 1909, as a- result of being bitten by a dog afflicted with the rabies. He leaves three sons, William D., who moved the first of this month from a farm near Pleasant Ridge to another farm in Pulaski county; Jasper A. and Harry E., of Jordan township. He also leaves two brothers and one sister, viz-.,’ J. Frank Pass, who works for C. W. Spencer, south of this city; Martin L. Pass, of La,Junta, Colo., and Mrs. John S. Johnson, of Pulaski county. The funeral arrangements hangs somewhat on word received from the brother of the deceased, Martin L Pass, of LaJunta, Colo., but the funeral will probably be held at the Christian church in Rensselaer at 10 o’clock Friday morning. Interment will be made in the Brown cemetery, beside the grave of his wife.
