John W. Mouser, 66 years old, died at his home on East Main Street Wednesday afternoon [September 19, 1928] at 5:15 o’clock of apoplexy. He was stricken on August 1 and had since that time been in a serious condition. Hope for his recovery was abandoned several days before he passed away. Mr. Mouser was a son of John H. & Hester Catlin Mouser and was born in this county on February 17, 1862. All of his life he was a resident of the county, and until eight years ago was engaged in farming. At that time he moved to town, purchasing the Rowntree property on East Main Street where he had since lived. He frequently served as a police officer of the city, and always discharged his duties most satisfactorily. He was a Republican in politics and took an active interest in the affairs of the party. A few years ago he made the race for Sheriff of the county, but was defeated, the county being overwhelmingly Democratic. Surviving Mr. Mouser are his wife, who was Miss Georgia Bagwell, and eleven children. They are Mrs. R.C. Hays of Marion County, Mrs. Hugh Hall of Washington County, Mrs. Charlie Hatchett of Washington County, Mrs. Charlie Russell of Marion County, Mrs. Eb Glazebrook of Lebanon, Mrs. Mary Yankey of Lebanon, Mrs. Hardin Bosley of Dubuque, IA, and Tom Mouser of Louisville, Roy Mouser of Louisville and Will & Gilbert Mouser of Lebanon. Another child, Mrs. Sam Litsey died a few years ago. Funeral services will be held this morning at the Baptist church by the Rev. T.J. Porter. Burial will follow in Ryder Cemetery.
