The Death of Rev. Dr. Stimson.
Just after noon yesterday Rev. S. M. Stimson, D. D., one of the best known and most highly respected Baptist ministers of Indiana, died at his home, one mile south of here, of heart failure.
Dr. Stimson and wife returned from the association meeting at Shelbyville on Wednesday, and remembering his age, nearly seventy-nine, his friends remarked on his sprightness of mind and manner that day.
On the next day, Thursday, he was stricken with neuralgia of the heart, from which he suffered until death came to his relief.
The funeral will be held at the Baptist church at 2 p.m. tomorrow, the sermon being preached by Rev. B. F. Cavins, of Peru, and the interment will be in Sandcreek Cemetery. —Greensburg Graphic. [Decatur County, Indiana]
Dr. Stimson is well known in this city, especially to the Baptists. He has been active in work for Franklin College. He has not been here for about nine months.
