HENRY CLAY HYDE
Dies suddenly OF Heart Failure at
His Home In KingwoOd.

Our people were greatly shocked
last Sunday evening to learn that
Henry Clay Hyde, one Of the lead
ing lawyers aud most prominent
citizens of the town, had expired
suddenly at his home here. His
death occurred about four O'Clock
p. m, October 22d, after very
brief Illness that was not thought
TO DO serious. He had been con =
fined to his house two or three
days, and ON Saturday drank very
freely OF ice water, which caused
acute Inflammation of the stomach
and seriously affected his heart.
When his physician, DR.. j. A.
Graham. WAS summoned on Sun.
day, he found him IN a dangerous
condition, with bis heart very
weak. The Doctor gave him slim
ulants and tried to revive the action
of the heart, but it would not re-
spond, aud got weaker and weaker
until he died. His heart had bee n
affected for years, and he was ex-
amined not long ago by specialist
in the East, who told him that he
had a tobacco heart" and was
liable to die any time. He was an
inveterate user of tobacco, and had
been smoking and chewing to eI-
cess for some time.
