BRAXTON CASH DEAD
He Suddenly Falls Fainting in His Buggy and Expires Almost Immediatley
Saturday afternoon Braxton Cash, a prominent farmer, living five miles southwest of the city, died very suddenly. He was in a surrey and driving north on Green street with his wife , a young son and daughter. When directly in front of the Music Hall he suddenly exclaimed to his wife: "oh help me, I am dying." He dropped the reins and his head fell back in to the arms of Mrs. Cash, who rose quickly from her place on the back seat. She began to fan him and called to Fred Harrington, who was on the sidewalk. Several other gentlemen ran quickly to aid and the horse was led to the office of Ristine & Harcus. Mr. Cash, as pale as death was lifted tenderly out and carried to the consulatation room. those who saw him at once realized that he was a dying man, and indeed, he lived but only a few moments after being placed on the couch. He was never conscious after his exclamation to his wife. The family had left home about one o'clock and the first thing Mr. Cash did on reaching town was to secure some medicine for himself. He had been troubled with heart disease for several years and had been complaining Saturday morning of his condition.
Mr. Cash was about 60 years of age and was a man esteemed by everyone. He was raised in the south and during the war served in the confederate army. Soon after peace was declared, however, he came here and made his home. He was twice married, his first wife being a Simpson. Their one child, Sam Cash resides in this city. Mr. Cash's second wife was Miss Laura Wolverton, and she with three children survive him.
The body of Mr. Cash was taken to Barnhill's undertaking establishment at 3 o'clock to be prepared for burial and was taken to the family home in the evening.
