J. C. Schrader, aged seventy-three years, died suddenly about 7:20 o'clock yesterday morning at his home on West Houston street.
He had been afflicted with dropsy for some time complicated with other ailments. Occasionally he had a little spell and would call in a doctor, after which he seemed to be better. Last Thursday he went out to his farm near Maxey. The trip fatigued him and when he returned he felt worse and called in a doctor. Yesterday morning when he got up some of the neighbors asked him how he felt and he replied that he felt as well as usual. Shortly afterward, however, he was seized with a sudden attack and fell down in the floor unconscious. His wife and daughter were at home alone, and in response to their cries for help M. J. Chenault and Mr. Condry, neighbors, ran over and assisted in putting him on the bed. After being placed on the bed he gasped a few times and expired.
The deceased was an old resident of the county and lived for many years near Maxey, where he owned a good farm. He sold a part of the farm and moved to the city less than a year ago and bought property here.
The deceased is survived by his wife, a widowed daughter, Mrs. Walker, and a son, William Schrader, who is in employ of the Paris Light and Power company.
The remains will be taken to Pleasant Hill, north of High, this morning for burial.
