APOPLEXY CAUSED DEATH
----------
Occurred While He Was Entering
Haymond Tin Shop at Waldron to
Talk With Friends.
----------
Dr. Shrout had spent the day at his office treating a number of patients who had called. The last patient left his office about six o'clock in the evening. About six-fifteen Dr. Shrout came out of the front door of the office, ostensibly to pay a short visit to the men in the Charles Haymond tin shop which adjoins the building in which he had his office.
Just as he passed through the door of the tin shop he put his hands to the back of his head and exlaimed, "Oh, that pain." He then started to fall but was caught by Edward Howard and Charles Haymond, who were in the shop. They carried him to his office where he was placed on a couch. Dr. J. E. Keeling and Dr. Randolph were called immediately. Life had fled before their arrival, and after making an examination they stated that death was due to apoplexy. Mr. Howard and Mr. Haymond stated that it was their belief that Dr. Shrout had died before they could reach his office.
The death of the well known physician came as a great shock to his friends and acquaintances as well as the members of the family. Dr. Shrout was known by every man, woman and child in the southeastern part of the county and was counted as a friend by all. He was a man with a kindly disposition. He had practiced medicine in this county for the last twenty-five years and during that time had met many of the people in the vicinity in which he resided.
Dr. W. T. Shrout was a son of the late Andrew and Sarah Shrout. He was born in Nicholas county, Kentucky, May 15, 1846. At the time of his death he was aged sixty-seven years, ten months and twelve days.
He began the practice of medicine sbout forty years ago, opening an office in Nicholas county, Ky. He followed his profession in this home county for several years with success and later came to this state. In 1885 he located at Martinsville and continued there for two years. He then came to this county, after some investigation, and opened an office at Blue Ridge. He remained there for twelve years, enjoying a large practice. Later he decided to move to Waldron, which was more centrally located and would give him a larger territory in which to ptactice. For the last fourteen years his residence and office had been in Waldron. He had built up and maintained a large practice.
Dr. Shrout became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church while yet living in Kentucky. After taking up his residence in Waldron he transferred his membership to the Waldron M. E. church and had always been one of the staunch workers of the church. He was a member of the Masons at Waldron and of the Blue Ridge order of Odd Fellows. Both of these orders will take part in the funeral services.
On Subust 22, 1867, he was married to Miss Virginia L. Neal. To this union seven children were born, five of whom survive.
Dr. Shrout leave[s] his wife, two sons, Dr. James Shrout, Jr., of Shirley, Ind., Lee W. Shrout, at home; three daughters, Mrs. Lucy Reese of near North Vernon, Ind.; Mrs. Otto Wagoner, of Waldron; Mrs. Elbert McKay of Liberty township; one sister, Mrs. Mary Fuller, of Kentucky, three brothers, James S. Shrout and George Shrout, of Kentucky, and Samuel Shrout, of Kansas.
The funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at one-thirty o'clock in the Waldron M. E. church, the Rev. Victor B. Hargitt, the pastor, officiating. Burial will be made in the Mt. Pisgah cemetery, in charge of Stewart & Fix.
