CHAS FROMER DEAD
He Passed Away at Half Past Eleven
O'clock Monday night of Heart Failure
THE NEWS A SEVERE SHOCK
One of the saddest deaths that has been our lot to chronicle for some time is that of Charles Fromer who died suddenly Monday night about 11:30 o'clock of heart failure.
Mr. Fromer's health had been impaired for some time, but for the last few days he had been feeling exceedingly well, but complained of a pain in his breast. He was up and about all day yesterday attending to his regular daily business matters and retired, as usual, about eleven o'clock.
Shortly after he retired he rose up in bed to a sitting position. Mrs. Fromer noticed that he was breathing very hard and that he was breathing very hard and that he was also frothing at the mouth. She asked him what she could do for him and he said "Nothing, only send for a doctor." Those were the last words he ever spoke for he was dead before medical aid could arrive.
Mr. Fromer was a man who was well liked by all who knew him and always had a pleasant word for everyone. He was a man of strict business integrity and had been a member of the city council from the fourth ward for about six years, which position he held at the time of his death.
He served in the late war and was a member of the thirteenth Indiana, and had made preparations yesterday to attend the funeral of Peter Ingall, one of his comrades, at Newpoint to-day. He was also a prominent G.A.R. man, being a member of Pap Thomas Post here.
The news of his sudden death was a sad blow to his many relatives and friends, and especially to Mrs. Fromer, who is almost prostrated with grief. His daughter, Miss Ross, was in Indianapolis and his brother, Herman, was at Martinsville. The sad news was a severe shock to them.
The G.A.R. will take part in the funeral services which will be conducted at St. Mary's church Friday morning at nine-o'clock by Rev. Father Steigerwald after which the remains will be interred in the Catholic cemetery.
Mr. Fromer was born in Baden, Germany, February 20, 1841. At the age of eleven years he sailed in company with his parents to this country and arrived at Madison, Ind. October 8, 1852, and went direct from there to Napoleon, Ind., and lived on a farm with his father. He was enlisted in the army in 1861 and served his country, faithfully for three years and four months.
After the war was over he returned to Napoleon and embarked in the retail liquor business. He remained there until 1871, when he came to this city and engaged in the same business in partnership with Charles Dannacher, on south Broadway. In 1873 he purchased Mr. Dannacher's interest and continued the business himself at the same place until his death.
He was fifty-four years, eight months and eleven days old at the time of his death.
