Amish, Adam |
Early Monday
morning shortly after the midnight hour, death claimed Adam
Amish, 62, victim of malaria and heart failure. Mr. Amish,
at the time of his death, was visiting in the home of J. N.
Duff, an old friend. His home was in Iowa City, Iowa, which he
and his wife left only a short time ago. He was in perfect
health when he left and only began to feel sick while en route
here. When he became so ill last week, his two sons were
sent for and they were here at the time of the death of their
father. The body was shipped Tuesday, back to his old home, Iowa
City, for burial. Mrs Amish and her sons accompanied the body.
