Gus A. Terry Died Suddenly
Last Wednesday night at 8 o'clock Gus Terry, one of our best known citizens, dropped dead at his home near Crittenden Springs. He was in Marion that day and left here late in afternoon to go to his home. He arrived there in good health apparently and ate a hearty supper with his family. After supper he went to see about some stock at the barn and returned to the house and complained of great pain in the region of the heart. Before the bed could be prepared he fell to the floor and died there almost instantly. Mr. Terry had long been a sufferer from heart trouble but such a sudden summons was unexpected to him and his family.
He was 65 years of age and leaves besides his wife, who was Miss Margaret Perry, a daughter of Rev. J. B. Perry, six children to mourn his death. They are: Markham, of Los Angeles, Cal.; John B. and Henry, of this county; Mrs. Newton Stallions, of Dixon; and Misses Ada and Maggie Terry who are at home, also one brother, Jas., and four half-brothers, messrs. Zack, Lewis, Wm. and Blake Terry. None of his sisters are living, all six having preceeded him to the grave. They were; Mesdames Sallie Fuller, Rebecca Guess, Jennie Burras, Ella Roberts, Elizabeth Foy and Mary Taylor.
Mr. Terry was a member of Hurricane Methodist Episcopal church and was an honest, upright christian gentleman, a man who will be much missed in the community where he lived. He was an affectionate father and a kind and indulgent husband. All his children were greatly distressed at the taking away of the beloved and honored parent. Mrs. Stallion it is said was so overcome when she arrived at the old home where her father had always met her, that she could not get out of the carriage for some time.
