SUDDEN DEATH: Joseph H Louthain, a Pioneer of Cass County, Drops Dead at the Supper Table ...
Joseph H Louthain, one of the pioneer settlers of Cass county, died of heart disease at the residence of his brother, ex-Sheriff (William P) Louthain, Saturday evening about six o'clock. He had been in the city during the day, had returned, done the evening work and repaired to supper. While eating he was good naturedly talking with the children. He had eaten but very little when one of the little girls said, "grandma, look at Uncle Joe." Mrs. Louthain was surprised to find him in the act of falling off his chair. She grabbed him and called for help. The ex-Sheriff, who had just returned from town, hurried to her assistance. It was too late. The spirit of "Uncle Joe," as he was familiarly called, had taken its flight into the realms unknown. Five minutes did not elapse from the time of the attack until death had settled its pall over his kind features. He had suffered considerably from the disease at other times, but was always cheerful. The deceased was born near Troy, Miami county, Ohio, in the year 1813, and was sixty-seven years old at the time of his death.
He removed to Cass County some forty years ago, and settled in what is known as the Reserve and was among the first settlers in the eastern part of the county. He afterwards removed to what is now Newton County and followed farming in that locality until the breaking out of the war, when in 1863, he enlisted in the 128th Indiana volunteers and remained in the army until the close of the war, and was honorably discharged on the 5th day of July, 1865.
He leaves three brothers, one sister, and seven children to mourn his loss. Funeral services were held today at the residence of ex-Sheriff Louthain, and the remains interred in Hahn's cemetery near Anoka.
