Rensselaer Standard, Volume 1, Number 1, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 June 1879 — GENERAL SCHENCK. [ARTICLE]

GENERAL SCHENCK.

The many friends of General Schenck will grieve to learn that his physician has informed him that he is liable to die suddenly, and that he cannot recover. On Wednesday afternoon when lightning struck his house it seriously excited him, and he was much prostrated afterwards. His daughters stated that if he was able to travel he would leave. Washington for Crystal Springs, near Watkins’s Glen, New York, Thursday morning. He is afflicted with Bright’s disease of the-kidneys.—[lndiana-polis Journal.
