GEORGE MARION GEDDES
George Marion Geddeds, son of the late ex-congressman G. W. Geddes, dropped dead in his chair Thursday afternoon about 4 o'clock at his home, 172 John's Avenue, of heart failure. He was feeling as well as usual and after eating a very healthy dinner, was sitting in a rocking chair in the kitchen, reading. There he spent the afternoon. He hadn't complained that he was feeling badly and the first that was known of his condition was when Mrs. Geddes, sitting near the window, heard a strange noise. She turned, thinking he had fallen asleep in his chair, but instead, she saw him rolling his eyes in agony and gasping for breath. Going to him she raised him up, then laid him on the floor and opened the door, thinking that would help him. Help was called and a neighbor, Mrs. Thomas Nantz came. It was all over so quickly it seemed to have been not more than a minute from the time he was stricken until he had passed away. Dr. Stevens was called but when he arrived he pronounced him dead. In the evening Coroner Bushnell, having been notified of the death, went to the house and viewed the body. Mr. Geddes had been having heart trouble, but never considered it serious.
He was born in Mansfield forty-two years ago Dec. 5, and was a brother of James Geddes, of Joplin, Mo. He was married to Miss Anna Schwein thirteen years ago and to them were born two daughters, Beatrice, aged 12 and Naomi, aged 8, who with their mother survive him. He was in the real estate business at one time and for some years was in the employ of the Shield as solicitor. His brother James I. Geddes, of Joplin, Mo, is expected here tonight.
Funeral services at the late home Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock.
