The sad intelligence that the death of Wood Case had occurred at Richmond at 10:30 o'clock was received Saturday morning. Mr. Case had for many years worked at the painter's trade and several weeks ago he was taken violently ill with blood poison, a disease often brought on by the constant inhaling of poisonous paints. He clung to life earnestly and for a time it was believed that he could master the malady, but such was impossible and finally the brain was affected and his ravings were most terrible. Later it was decided to send him to the Eastern Insane Hospital at Richmond and he was conveyed to that institution on Friday, June 29. Everything possible was done for him, but the body was too frail and weak from the long illness and he passed into the sleep of death Saturday morning. His remains were brought to this city Sunday evening and the funeral services were held Monday morning from the home on Third street, being in charge of Rev. J. Q. Kline of the United Brethren church. J. W. Case was born near Willshire, Ohio, May 9th, 1854 [sic] , and died at Richmond, Indiana, July 7th, 1900, aged 46 years, 1 month and 28 days. Mr. Case was joined in marriage to Emma King July 25th 1878. To this union seven children were born, three of whom are dead. The remaining four are all with their mother save one, Mrs. A. O. Amspaugh who lives at Kent, Ohio. The death is an extremely sad one and the sorrowing family has the sincere sympathy of the community.
