Find Body Of Man In Field. The Grafton Sentinel. Grafton, WV. March 18, 1937.
Abstract--His heart unable to stand up to the exertion of a walk through deep snow near his home on the Trap Springs road, John A. Keener, 42, droped dead some time this morning on the county farm where employes discovered him lying in the snow. A quick examination disclosed Keener had succumbed, and it was necessary to go to the Lawson filling station to telephone Sheriff Herbert Evans. The Sheriff in turn notified corner Paul P. Warden, Prosecuting Attorney Francis L. Warder, and State Trooper W. E. Murphy, who went to the scene with the sheriff and his field deputy, Joe Mask. Dr. Warden said that death was unquestionably due to angina pectoris and that an inquest was unnecessary. Sheriff Evans then proceeded to back-track in the snow to ascertain the identity of the man, and traced him to his small home over the hill. There the sheriff informed his widow and 80 year-old mother-in-law, Mrs. Grimm, of the death. Mrs. Keener informed Sheriff Evans that her husband had complained of heart trouble for some time. His tracts in the snow revealed that evidently he was feeling unwell as he headed into Grafton, for numerous places he turned around, as if uncertain whether to continue. The climb up the steep grade must have placed too much strain on his heart. He was carrying a small bag with him, planning to purchase some groceries in Grafton.
