Alex. Agar Dies Suddenly at Keating – Other Deaths.
The particulars of the sudden demise of Mr. Alexander Agar are as follows: He was engaged in building a mill for John Rohn, in Keating township, Clinton Co., Wednesday and was apparently in his usual good health when he went to bed at his boarding house. He slept in the same bed with another man, and in a second bed in the room another man slept, only a few feet away. Everything seemed to be all right, and neither of Mr. Agar’s two companions noticed that anything was wrong. The night passed on and morning broke, and when the hour for getting up arrived, to the horror of the other two men, and especially of the one who had slept with him, Mr. Agar was found dead, and not only dead but cold, showing that life had been extinct for some time and that he must have died during the earlier part of the night. The news of the sad event soon spread, and Squire Moore summoned a jury and held an inquest, the verdict being that the deceased came to his death from heart disease, or enlargement of the heart.
Mr. Jack (John) Agar, left this city Thursday to bring the body of his brother home to this city, and it arrived Friday morning on the 11 o’clock train, and was taken to the family residence on Bald Eagle street, in the Second ward, where it was mournfully received by the broken hearted wife and grieving children.
Mr. Agar was the oldest one of the Agar family, and his age was about 57 years. He has left a large family, consisting of his wife and eight children, four boys and four girls. He was well known in the city and was much liked. He has four brothers namely, George, John H., Robert, and Walter, all of whom live here except George, who is a resident of Erie. He has also four living sisters, as follows: Mrs. William Larkins, Mrs. Simon Seid, Mrs. P.l McAffrey and Mrs. James Monroe, all of whom are residents of Lock Haven. Mr. Agar, as we stated Thursday, was a millwright by trade and an excellent workman. His death has created a feeling of profound regret in the community and has plunged his large circle of relatives into the deepest grief. To his family it is a crushing blow, and we deeply sympathize in their sad bereavement.
