The sad intelligence of the sudden death of George Henry KILLEN, which occurred at his home in this city at 3:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, as the result of a stroke of apoplexy, and briefly chronicled in Monday's Sentinel, was a sad surprise to that well-known citizen's many friends and acquaintances. Mr. Killen suffered two previous attacks, but had recovered and was seemingly in his usual good health, when the fatal stroke visited him. In fact he had been down town Saturday and his quick demise could hardly be realized when the stroke came.
George Henry Killen was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, July 29, 1847, and at the age of 8 years moved to Hamilton county, Indiana. He was married to Miss Rose INGERMANN at Noblesville, and in 1876 they moved to Rochester. For several years he was the proprietor of a grocery and later he engaged in the ice business, which he followed almost twenty-five years, having retired about three years ago. Since that time he led a quiet life, mingling with his many friends and former business associates. He was always a kind and loving husband and father and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. Besides the wife he leaves three daughters, Mrs. Charles BOOTS, North Manchester; Mrs. F. J. MATTICE and Miss Emma Louise KILLEN, and one son, Byron KILLEN, this city. There are also left to mourn their loss, two sisters, Mrs. Louise MOORE and Mrs. Emma PFAFF of Indianapolis, and three brothers, Mark [KILLEN], Chicago; William [KILLEN], Hot Springs, Arkansas; James [KILLEN], Wheeling, West Virginia.
The funeral will be private owing to the serious illness of Mrs. Killen and will be held at the home Thursday afternoon, Rev. S. A. STEWART having charge of the services. Burial will be made in Odd Fellows cemetery.
