A. Terrell Dead - One week ago yesterday morning, the writer walked down
the street with Mr. A. Terrell, form his home to his place of business. He
spoke of feeling so well and expressed his sympathy for Mrs. Harding, after
inquiring as to her condition. He spoke of how he enjoyed his recent visit
to his boyhood home in Ohio and to the home of his daughter in Kansas City
and told of his plans for a trip to California later in the season. Ever
cheerful, on this morning he seemed more cheerful than usual.
At about 1:00 he was stricken with the heat, after having assisted in loading
some lumber in the yard and was born to his home in an unconscious condition.
Dr. Hays was summoned and all that medical skill and the ministration of
loving hands could do, was done to relieve his suffering, but to no avail,
