DIED SUDDENLY
Clayton U. Dorwin, Well Known Resident, Passed Away Suddenly
ON CHRISTMAS DAY
of Heart Trouble and Gastritis - Funeral Tomorrow Morning
Christmas day was a sad one for the family of Clayton U. Dorwin, well known resident of this city, who passed away unexpectedly Saturday afternoon at 2:05 o'clock at the family home on North Second Street, after a short illness.
Mr. Dorwin, who had been employed at night, had worked the preceding night, but had not slept very well during the day. He arose about 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon and complaining of being ill of gastritis, asked that the doctor be called. The physician was called but was unable to come until about 2 o'clock, Mr. Dorwin passing away about five minutes later. The only ones who were at home at the time were his wife, his aged mother, Mrs. Belinda Dorwin, and the son, William R. Dorwin, who lives near and from whose home the telephone call to the doctor was given, and who hastened at once to the home. The other children reside out of the city and were unable to be there.
The deceased was a lifelong resident of the county. He was born February 5, 1852, near Monmouth, the son of W. R. and Belinda Dorwin. Had he lived until next February 5, he would have been sixty-four years old. Mr. Dorwin was one of the best known men of the city, and for many years was employed as engineer at the city waterworks and electric light plant.
He is survived by the widow, Emma J. Dorwin, and six children. They are: Bess, wife of Miles Pillars, of The Dalles, Washington; William R. Dorwin, city mail carrier, this city; Beatrice, wife of Jesse Braden of the Fort Wayne post office force; Mayme, wife of J. E. Church, Los Angeles, Cal.; Guy of Fort Wayne, and Gypsy, wife of Tom Dent, of Fort Wayne.
The mother, Mrs. Belinda Dorwin, aged eighty-six, living with Mr. Dorwin, has been very ill and at the point of death for some time, but for the past two weeks had recovered sufficiently to be able to be up and had been in the hopes of gaining strength enough to go to visit with her daughter, Ada Walters, at Delaware, Ohio, over Christmas.
Mr. Dorwin leaves the following brothers and sisters: Rev. Jay Dorwin, Seattle, Wash.; Fred Dorwin, whose residence is unknown; Mrs. Ada Walters, Delaware, Ohio; Miss Margaret Dorwin of Oxford, Mich.
The children residing in Fort Wayne are here, but the daughters who live in the west will be unable to make the long journey in time, the message having been delayed on account of the wires being down.
The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock from the Dorwin residence. The Rev. D. T. Stephenson of the Methodist Church will officiate.
