    • John Harper Dies Suddenly.
      Sometime Monday afternoon, May 3, 1915, John Harper died at his home south of town. Mr. Harper lived on the T.L. Price place since last March, having moved there from the neighborhood of Hughesville. Monday Mrs. Harper went to Sedalia for the day leaving Mr. Harper in his usual health and at work on the farm. Sometime in the afternoon he went to the house and lay down on the bed and was found there by his wife about 6 o’clock. He was lying on the bed with his hat in his hand and was fully dressed when found. She summoned the hand from the field and Mr. John Teter, a neighbor, who thought from all appearances that the deceased had been dead several hours. Mr. Teter notified the Coroner at Sedalia, who deputized Dr. J.F. Jarvis, of Sweet Springs to determine on the inquest. The Doctor thought none necessary and ordered the body prepared for burial.
      Mr. Harper was about 46 years old at the time of his death and is survived by his heart broken wife and two small daughters.
      Sweet Springs Herald, Sweet Springs, Missouri. Friday, 7 May 1915.
