ADMIRE, Henry

––––––––––––––––

Last Saturday afternoon Henry Ad­mire, a prominent farmer of White River township, aged about seventy years, went to Greenwood on business. Not returning home as promptly as was expected, a son was sent to look after him and he was found lying in the road near Greenwood unconscious. He was immediately removed to his home where he died at three o’clock the fol­lowing morning. Coroner Jones went out to view the remains and determined that death was caused by apoplexy. The funeral took place from the residence of the deceased on Monday morning at 10 o’clock.

OBITUARY.

Henry Admire was a native of Ken­tucky and possessed that sturdy, honest and personal integrity which is a well-known characteristic of the people of that state. He was 70 years old. He came to Indiana early in life and spent the most of his life in the counties of Johnson and Marion. He was twice married; first to Mary Barrett, who died May 28th 1857. By this marriage he had one child, Mrs. James Laden, now living in Wyoming. Mr. Admire was married a second time on Jan. 28th, 1858, to Miss Sarah A. McCool, who survives him together with five sons and a daughter. His death was so sudden and unexpected as to shock the whole community. Congestion of the brain was the cause as found by post mortem. He was stricken and fell from his buggy late Saturday evening, May 24, and was found some two hours later and taken to his home five miles west of Greenwood, where he died without having recovered consciousness Sunday morning, May 25th. The funeral ser­vices took place from the family residence on Monday morning, May 26th, conducted by Rev. J. W. Dashill. The remains were interred in the Glenn cemetery.
