HAD ATTACK OF HEART TROUBLE
----------
Mrs. Lora Weinantz Falls From Buggy And Is Picked Up Dead
----------
Was Brought On By Fright
----------
Mrs. Lora Weinantz, who resides in Washington township, died suddenly,
the result of an attack of heart trouble, Saturday evening while driving her
horse near Fenn’s station.
The woman who was subjected to heart trouble, together with her son, spent
the day in this city trading. They started for their home in the evening.
As
they were driving along the pike where the J. M. & I road passed near Fenns,
a north bound freight train came thundering along. The son jumped from the buggy
and held the horse, which was somewhat frightened, by the bridle.
As he was holding the animal, Mrs. Weinantz was seen to fall from the buggy
to the ground. Other people were passing along the pike at the time and they
came to the assistance of Mrs. Weinantz, thinking that she had fainted. An
effort was made to revive the woman but they failed to do this.
The body was taken to the home of
Perry Harris, manager of the
telephone exchange at Fenns, and Sheriff Butler notified. He arrived there a few
hours later and the body was then taken to her home.
It is thought that the sudden frightening of the horse brought on an attack
of heart trouble, which resulted in the woman’s death. One bruise was found on
her body where she struck the dash board in her fall.
A sister of Mrs. Weinantz, who resides in Anderson, had arrived here Saturday
and she was at the time of the woman’s death, en route to the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Weinantz to visit her, intending to give her a surprise.
Surviving the woman are two sons,
Roy and Floyd, and her husband [Louis C.].
Arrangements have been completed for the funeral services. They will be held
in the Christian church at Flat Rock Tuesday morning at 11 o’clock and
interment will be in Flat Rock cemetery.

Conrad Weinantz, the well known German who lived on South Tompkins
street, died very suddenly Saturday evening at his home. A few weeks ago the old
gentleman was stricken while on his way home from up town but in due time he
rallied from that attack and has been about as usual. The cause of his death was
heart disease. Mr. Weinantz was of jolly disposition and in many respects was a
typical Fatherland German. He was born in Bavaria on January 29, 1819.
He came
to America in 1842. In 1848 he was married to Catherine Stephens.
To them
were born eight children, only two of the children now living. Funeral services
were held this afternoon at West Street M. E. church, the Rev. Young, assisted by
the Rev. S. D. Hawkins, officiating. The interment was at Forest Hill cemetery
in charge of D. B. Wilson & Son.

The announcement Sunday of the sudden death of

farmer. The remains were buried Monday morning in Forest Hill cemetery.

OBITUARY
----------
Died near Lewis Creek Switch, Washington township, Shelby county, Indiana, on
Sunday morning, May 17, 1885, Miss Mary C. Weinantz, daughter of Conrad
and Catherine Weinantz, age 22 years, 7 months and 27 days.
The life and death of this dutiful daughter and loving sister deserves more
than passing notice. For several years past she has been afflicted with
pulmonary trouble, manifesting itself at times in a slight hemorrhage, but not
until with the last twelve or fifteen months did the disease, which ended her
life, assume a dangerous form. Great as her physical sufferings during the last
year, she bore it patiently without murmur or complaint. In February, 1878, she
united with the New Bethel Church, near her home, and remained a worthy member
to the end.
Her mind was clear and active till the last, and during her last hours.
Her
death was a peaceful, happy and triumphant one. On Monday, May 18th, the funeral
services were held in the New Bethel Church and the remains were interred in the
Patterson Cemetery, attended by a very large concourse of neighbors,
sympathizing friends and relatives. The funeral was in charge of Funeral
Director D. B. Wilson, of Shelbyville.
The writer of this, by special request from the deceased previous to her
death, conducted the religious exercises and endeavored to speak words of
comfort and edification to the relatives and large assembly of people, from Luke’s
gospel, chapter 10, verse12. The music rendered by the young people of the
community was very appropriate and impressive, and as the last strain of the
beautiful song. "She Sleeps in the Valley," fell in solemn accents
from the lips of the choir, was deposited the remains of our Mary beneath the
clods of the Silent Valley. May she rest in peace. I extend to the family my
heartfelt sympathy in this their severe bereavement.
