a year ago he suffered for a time with
stomach trouble and took a course at a
well-known resort. After that he was ap-
parently as well as ever, although he was
more than ever careful of his health. On
Sunday afternoon Nj. SchyVer drove with
his wife to Druid Ridge Cemetery, where
they partially decided upon a lot It Is
probable that he viii be buried IL this
lot when the funeral arrangements are
completed
Apparently there was no thought of this
serious business on his mind when Mr..
Schryyer stepped st the Pimlico Driving
Club. as was his custom on Sunday after
noon.
Mr. SchTyver returned to his home and
seoE after complained to his wife that his
left side seemed TO be paraIyzed. After
resting awhile in a chair he was unable
TO get out OF it and was assisted to bed.
This was about D. n. Physicians were
summoned. A hasty examination showed
them that his left side was paralyzed- He
| was then unconscious. DR.. W. H. Grim.
/ the family physician, was called and at
| tended him until his death, DR.. j. w
| Chambers being called in consultation ii
/ the meantime. bet the physicians were IN
able TO give any permanent relief. He
| fingered until 12:12 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon.
