back door to stop a the well to take q
drink of water My brother followed
me out. I asked him if he wanted a
drink and he replied that was what
he had come out for.
He took a drink, and we parted. AS
I started to go home I said Goodnight,
come over to see us SOON He answered
by repeating the invitation I had ex-
pressed.
HE went into the house AS he went
in and sat down he said to the little
girls, That water seems awfully hot to
me-
1T was then that he said he had a Sc
we're pain over his heart and told the
little girls to go to- bed; that he was
going to do the same thing"
He was not seen again until he was
discovered by the little girl when she
went to call him for breakfast. She ran
to tell her father, Mr.. Klingaman who
went to the room and found Mr.. Cross
stretched across the bed, where he had
fallen backwards. He still wore his
clothing.
Coroner Hogeboom made an investi-
cation this morning and reported that
he came to his death by heart failure.
Mr.. Cross was considered one of the
old settlers here, having located in To-
peka 80 years ago. He was born April
"a, 1S39 in Clark county, Ohio. He was
therefore 81 years of age.
He was engaged in the milling busi-
ness in Ohio before coming to Kansas,
when he interested himself in mines
and mining in Colorado. Five years of
the time after he came to Kansas were
spent in California. His wife died about
ten years ago.
He leaves six children. They are:
Mrs B. A. Allen and Miss Neyda Cross
of Washington, D. c., Mrs. Lew Sells
of Columbus, Ohio, Harry Cross of Col
umbus, Mrs. NJ L. Eckert of Joplin,
Mo-, and Mrs. Frank KHngaman of Ts-
peka.
Mr.. Cross had a brother Thomas
Cross of Topeka and a sister, Mrs. G.
H. Johnson of Parsons, living.
The funeral announcement will be
made later
