O. J. Foraker
Bay City—The discovery of the body of O. J. Foraker, aged resident of the Collegeport vicinity in his home was reported by C. J. Corporon, a neighbor, according to the information received from County Traffic Officer, Guy Barnett.
Mr. Corporon, according to his statement, had missed seeing the deceased for several days, and becoming curious went over to his house about four miles from Collegeport and looked in the window, about 2 p. m. Monday. He saw Mr. Foraker lying on the bed fully clothed, but with his boots off. Immediately upon going into the house, he determined that the occupant was dead, and then drove to Tintop to contact the officials. Unable to secure telephone communication from there he drove to Palacios. There he got in touch with Justice of the Peace G. R. Holliday and Dr. J. B. Wagner.
Upon leaving Palacios, then encountered Officer Barnett, who then accompanied them to the scene of death. Dr. Wagner’s examination proved that death was the result of heart failure, and that was the verdict by the justice of the peace at the inquest.—Tribune
