Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1902-03-11

Last Thursday afternoon, the sad
news flashed over the wires to relatives
and friends in this city, of the death of
Frank Fellows, while on his why to his
home in Chicago Heights from Chicago.
The news was great shock to all who
knew him here, and he was known to
nearly everybody in our city and coun-
ty, and expressions of very deep sor-
row were to be heard on every hand.
Mr.. Fellows had been in Wausau only
a few weeks ago and at that time
seemed to be in excellent health. The
PILOT can give no better account of the
life of this good and popular man than
that which is given in the Chicago
Heights Signal, which is published
where Mr.. Fellows has made his home
for the past six years
at becomes our sad duty to chronicle
the sudden death of Mr.. Frank Fellows,
which occurred Wednesday afternoon
at As O'Clock on a G. & E. |. passenger
train near Normal Park.
Mr.. and Mrs Fellows had gone to Chi

usual health. Several who talked with
him speak of his jovial mood and his
apparent good health. At noon Mr.
Fellows and his wife went to Mandel
Bros. for lunch, and while eating he
complained of not feeling well. Think
ing fresh air would revive him, they i'm
mediately went to the street and he felt
better. After walking a short distance,
however, the illness seemed to threaten
again and they called a cab and drove
to the station. They fortunately met
Mr.. and Mrs. q. G. Flanner and Mr..
j. G.. Mote who tried to persuade Mr..
Fellows to call physician and not try
to 90 home. His objections overruled
and they started on the 30 train.
AS Mr.. Fellows became worse on the
train complaining of cramps in his chest,
everything possible to the conditions
was done for him. The train was held
90 minutes at Normal Park for doctor
but when he came the pulse had ceased.
Word of his death had been sent here
by wire, and a greater shock our COM
munity has not known.
