FRANK FOSTER IS FOUND DEAD
Boat Hand Dies of a Heart Attack This Morning.
Frank Foster, 62, a boat hand on the steamer Florida, was found dead in
bed at 9 o'clock this morning in the Center House, on North Ninth street.
Coroner G.F. Rau pronounced the death natural, resulting from a heart
attack.
Foster, who worked on the Florida all summer, had been hired as shipman
for the winter. He planned to go aboard the boat today to make it his
winter quarters. Most of his belongings had already been placed aboard
the boat. He retired last night in perfect health to all outward appearance.
Early this morning he got out of bed and told the manager that he felt sick,
but he went back to bed again, refusing aid. As he usually got up early the
manageer went to his room at about 9 o'clock and found him dead. Officer
Tomchek was called and he and Coroner Rau handled the case.
The deceased has two stepdaughters in the city, Mrs. R. Smith, 307 North
Fifth street, and Mrs. Walter Bently, 504 North Fifth street. The body was
taken to the Shimek and Schwartz undertaking parlors. Arrangements have not
been completed.
