A Sad Affair.
Sudden Death of James Waldron.
The citizens of this community were startled on Wednesday morning last by the announcement that James Waldron, a son of John Waldron, President of the First National Bank of Bloomington, had died from the effects of swallowing three grains of morphine. Early on Tuesday evening the young man purchased the deadly drug at Shoemaker's saying that he wished it for the toothache. When purchasing the powders, at his request, one dose was put up separate from the rest. He talked pleasantly, and seemed to be in good spirits, which was pretty good evidence that he had no intentions of taking his own life. Between eight and nine o'clock at night young Waldron, in company with Ol, Barton and Joseph Allen, started for the room of William Blair, in James Small's residence on North College Avenue. At the gate of the house he became exhausted, and had to be assisted to the room. His friends now became alarmed and one of them went for a physician; word was also sent to his parents. By the time the persons sent for arrival the patient was in a stupor, from which he did not recover up to the hour of his death, 1 o'clock in the morning. Thus it was that a promising man in the prime of his youth was suddenly cut down, surrounded by his heart-broken father and mother, broth and sisters. The body was removed to the family residence about 4 o'clock in the morning. Coroner McLahlin held an inquest in the afternoon and rendered a verdict that the deceased came to his death by an overdose of morphine administered by himself. The deceased was 22 years of age. He was employed at his father's tannery and was an intelligent and industrious young man. By his genial disposition and gentlemanly deportment he had won many warm friends, especially among the better class of the young people of this community. At his home he was much beloved by his parents and brother and sisters who are now overcome with anguish at his sudden taking-off. His father's employees also thought much of "Jimmy," as they affectionately called him, and he will be sadly missed by them. It is a solemn and sad thing to think of this sudden affliction, and we can assure the grief-striken family that they have the warmest sympathy of the public. The funeral was held at the Catholic Church on Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, the services being conducted by the Rev. Fathers Burkhart and Unverzagt. The coffin was carried from the house to the church by six young friends of the deceased, followed by a large concourse of citizens on foot.

James Waldron, whose death is announced in another column, was a genial, cheerful, popular and gentlemanly young man, who had everything at command to make life desirable. His father was perfecting arrangements to place his two sons, John and James, at the head of his extensive and profitable tannery business, and the matter had been fully discussed on the morning of the unfortunate day. Dr. Crain, the dentist who worked upon his teeth that fatal afternoon, says the nerves of his teeth were so extraordinarily sensitive that the contact of the instruments seemed always to almost drive him into a frenzy of pain. It was after having his nerves thus set upon edge as 'twere that he used morphine to deaden the pain, and by its incautious use brought about the fatal result. Friends of the family in the surrounding towns came in large numbers to pay their tribute of respect to the living and the dead; among them we noticed persons from Washington, Seymour, Bedford, Ellettsville and Gosport. The cornet band, of which organization deceased was an esteemed member, marched in the procession nineteen strong, and the funeral, as a whole, was one of the most largely attended of any that has been held here in many years. Two beautiful floral offerings were deposited upon the casket – a "Harp" by the Band, and a "Cross" by the Boating Club, of which he was also a member. These offerings were constructed of Marshal Neil rosebuds, camellias, calla lilies, and other choice flowers, and excited the tearful admiration of those who could understand their tender significance. The family, which is a united and affectionate one, is almost paralyzed by this sudden and seemingly cruel blow, but their sorrow is in some degree mitigated by the sympathy extended to them by the entire community.

The beautiful floral offerings contributed by the Band and Boat Club, at James Waldron's funeral, have been sent to Nanz & Neuner, Louisville, to be made perpetual by a process known to that firm.
