Death of J.P. Tryon.
News of the death of J.P. Tryon, at his new home in Racine, Mo., was received here Sunday and caused a shock of sorrowful surprise. His death, which occurred on Thursday, April 19, was very sudden, resulting from blood poison from a carbuncle on the neck. He had been sick only a week.
Mr. Tryon left here with his family a few weeks ago to engage in the grocery business at Racine, Mo., with G.E. Ballou, through whom news of his death came to friends here. He and his brother Fred, who died two years ago, were among the early settlers of this county, the town of Tryon having been named for them. They were engaged in the general merchandise business there until the death of the brother. They did an immense business and built up the town to be one of the best country trading points in eastern Oklahoma.
Soon after the death of his brother, Mr. Tryon came to Chandler and opened a very large store in the north end, his brother-in-law, C.A. Ledington, being associated with him a part of the time.
Jack Tryon, as he was called by nearly everyone, was a large-hearted, hard working man, a friend to all in need. He was enterprising and progressive – a good citizen in the widest acceptation of the term. News of his death is learned with profound regret by a very large circle of friends in Lincoln county who extend heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family.
