The sudden death of Arthur VanWinkle Look, in this village, early Monday afternoon, (Feb. 5th) caused a profound sensation. He left home shortly after seven o’clock in the morning to open the hardware store of George H. Keeler with which he was connected as plumber and tinner. Soon after, he was found on the ground in the rear of the store, unconscious, having evidently been sweeping the back steps. He was taken into the store where he remained unconscious for several hours and later was removed to his home across Pulteney Park. He never regained consciousness. Coroner Hasson of Bath was notified, but decided a post mortem unnecessary.
Mr. Look was subject to severe and frequent headaches and had often expressed a wish that the cause might be investigated after his death. Accordingly, Drs. Lawrence and Alden held an autopsy which disclosed acute meningitis.
Arthur VanWinkle Look was born in Prattsburg, August 10, 1873. His parent are George A., and E. S. Look. He has been a resident of Hammondsport the greater part of the past seventeen years. On March 12, 1901, he married Mrs. Nettie Hughes-Pierce of this village. During the past three years he had been connected with the Keeler hardware store. The close personal friendship existing between Mr. Look and his employer, George H. Keeler, spoke in unmistakable terms of Mr. Look’s value as an employee and his worth as a friend. He was a man of honor and integrity and was the possessor of a bright , sunny disposition which made for him many friends. He was a man of domestic tastes and was devoted to his home and family.
Mr. Look was a prominent and influential member of the Keuka Tribe, Improved Order of Red Men, and had bee one of the foremost in the advancement of the order.
He is survived by his wife, his parents who reside in Prattsburg, four brothers and two sisters as follows: Samuel M. Look, New York; Bishop Look, Walla Walla, Wash.; E. S. Look, Ira Look and Miss Kate Look, Prattsburg; Mrs. D. O. Chamberlain, Avoca.
The funeral will be held to-morrow morning, prayer being offered at the home by the Rev. I. K. Libby. The burial will be in Lake View cemetery, Pulteney, in charge of Keuka Tribe of Red Men.
