RECENT DEATHS.
GROVE.

on last Sabbath morning to learn that w.
A. Grove had passed away at lO:45
o'clock, since 1t was generally understood |
that he was recovering from his serious
illness. Exactly what caused his death |
is undetermined, but that it was due to |
injuries received in runaway accident
is quite generally believed. On Sunday, |
August goth, in company with his wife
and her sister, Miss Nettie Hunter, he |
was driving on the river road about two |
miles above Tionesta, when his spirited |
team of horses took fright at an automo-
bile and ran away. The ladies had alight-
ed from the carriage and were not in
jured, but Mr.. Grove was thrown under |
the rig as it was overturned and dragged |
for some distance. He received such Sc
we're injuries that he was confined to the
house for several weeks. He seemed to
recover from his injuries and was about
as usual until last Sunday, when he was
seized with serious relapse which caused
great alarm among his friends. One of
Oil City's prominent physicians was
called in consultation with the family
physician, who pronounced Mr.. Grove
in a serious condition. Within the next
twelve hours an eminent Buffalo special
ist was summoned, who also gave 1t as
his opinion that the patient was in crit
ical state. Notwithstanding these reports
he began soon to show symptoms Of i'm
provement, aud on Saturday he was
thought to be fair way to recovery.
Sunday morning about s o'clock, how
ever, Mr.. GROVE was taken with sinking
spells, each one seeming to leave him
weaker, and at the hour noted he sank
peacefully and calmly away.
