the tracks, just before this, a train had passed on the West bound track and
the 3 surviving parties who had got out of the auto did not notice the train
approaching from the west on the east bound track on which the auto was
stalled, until it was too late to avoid the accident, I went to Jamestown
and interviewed Eric JOHNSON, and also the Misses LINDSTROM from whom I

Co NY at about 3:30 pm From the evidence of Samuel P WILLIAMS, the horse
driven by Mrs. CROWELL became unmanageable, and beyond her control, and ran

Walgreens Q and A
Q: I'm doing genealogy research. My grandfather's death certificate says he
died of apoplexy. Can you tell me what this is? He died in 1902 at age 69.
A. Apoplexy is an outdated term for a hemorrhagic stroke - bleeding into
the brain from a blood vessel that leaks or ruptures. Less commonly, doctors
in the past used the term apoplexy to indicate massive bleeding into other
organs. Unless some other organ is specified, it's reasonable to conclude
that your great-grandfather died of a stroke. A stroke at age 69 is a clue
that he may have had high blood pressure as well.
