Sudden Death in Penn Township
James Adaire Expires on Tuesday Night in a Rye Field and His Body is Not Discovered Until Wednesday Afternoon After a Long Search.
James Adaire aged sixty-nine years, a well known resident of Penn township died suddenly on Tuesday night and was found dead in a rye field by Clayton Hollinger one of a searching party of about forty men who had scoured the country in the vicinity of Pennville to find him.
Deceased had been ill for some time, and for the past two weeks was under the care of Dr. J. K. Hartz of Lexington.
On Tuesday evening he retired about eight o'clock, and his son Benjamin with whom he made his home heard him leaving the house about eleven o'clock. This was not regarded however as unusual as Mr. Adaire had gone out before at night to breathe the fresh air, being subject to spells of a suffocating nature.
When the family discovered that he was missing in the morning they became alarmed and a searching party containing about forty men started out to find him. They searched the clearings and woods at Speedwell and dredged Emanuel Greiner's dam, but failed to find any trace of the missing man.
About two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon Clayton Hollinger, one of the party, climbed a fence and looked over a rye field when he was startled by seeing the body of the missing Adaire lying in the field, about four feet from the fence, with his face downward in the rye. The body was immediately removed to the residence of his son about a quarter of a mile distant and Deputy Coroner Stroh of Manheim notified. The latter was accompanied by dr. J. Francis Dunlap who examined the body. Deputy Coroner Stroh empaneled a jury consisting of J.T. Weber, H.H. Witmeyer, D. Wal Evans, Emanuel H. Bomberger, Cyrus Kaufman, and David Keath, and the verdict rendered was that death was caused by valvular disease of the heart. The funeral will be held on Saturday morning with interment at White Oak Church.
