TAYLOR BOICOURT DIED IN HOSPITAL

Wife Was With Him When End Came Tuesday Evening—Wife Lost Father and Mother Recently. C. Taylor Bodcourt, whose age was about forty years, died in the Methodist hospital in Indianapolis at about 9 o’clock Tuesday evening. Mrs. Boicourt was with him at the hospital, having been at his bedside since he went there Wednesday of last week. He was operated on Thursday, the surgeons finding an ulcerated condition of the stomach and bowels that looked very serious from the outset and his death was not altogether unexpected. His wife has been sorely afflicted with losses by death during the past year and a half. Her father, William P. Baker, died on Christmas day, 1913, following a very brief sickness and then her mother died on Oct. 9, 1914. Her husband had been in very poor and failing health for some time and the operation was decided upon as the only hope of saving his life. He is survived by his wife and threechildren, two sons and one daughter, their names being Lorin, Hillman and Frances. His father resides at Wolcott and one brother lives near Indianapolis and will bring the body to Rensselaer this Wednesday afternoon and the funeral arrangements will await the arrival. Taylor Boicourt came to this city from Wolcott a number of years ago and for some time clerked in B. Forsythe’s store. Some ten years ago he went to Wolcott and engaged in business for himself, conducting a prosperous business. He returned to this city following the death of his father-in-law and took charge of the large estate he left. He had many very close friends and the news of his death was received with expressions of regret and sympathy for his sorrowing wife and children.
