SUDDEN DEATH OF ASA POOR.

The community suffered a severe
shock this morning when the sad news
was spread abroad that Asa Poor, the
well-known railroad man, and subse.
quent hotel keeper, had Joined the
great majority, about ten minutes be
fore . o'clock this morning.
To our friend death came suddenly
since yesterday morning he was in his
usual health. making a trip down town
about 10 o'clock. After his return,
Mr.. Poor complained of feeling a pain
in his chest and heart, and told his
wife. he thought he would lie down
for time. From the porch, where
they were sitting, he went to the
dining room, without any apparent eff,
fort, and sank to his knees, Mrs
Poor. who was following, catching him
as he fell Mr.. Poor then had a very
severe spell with his heart, and the
doctor was summoned at once. He
grew better soon after medical treat
ment, and in the evening seemed al.
most as well as ever
AT midnight, there was another at
tack, but very brief, so that no one
considered his condition alarming.
About 4:30, however, the patient be
gan to grow worse, and in a short time
his wife saw that this was serious.
Leaving her mother, Mrs. Merbitz
with the sick man, Mrs. Poor rushed
TO the phone. but before she could tell
central the doctors number, her hus-
band had gone. Like many of his
Fellow soldiers who had preceded him
he had mustered out of the armies of
earth. and was doubtless already an
swering TO roll call in the heavenly
logions.
Almost sixty-seven years ago, Asa
Poor was born in Watertown. n. Y.
his birthday being on June 8. He was
brought up and educated in his native
town, leaving home in his teens to en-
ter the railroad service. When the
civil war broke out he enlisted I'm
Company A, rhirtyfiith regiment of
New York Volunteer infantry, and
served through the war TO its close,
when he was honorably discharged.
Mr. Poor then returned to the iii
road service, and for many years was
10 the employ of the Wabash. running
out of ST. Louis as conductor. In
1881 he came TO Alamosa and for l.ir.
teen years following served as condlc-
Tor on the Denver 4 Rio Grandc run
ming between Alamosa and Durango.
In 1893 he was married to Mrs. Della
E. Blain and tor about five years Mr..
and Mrs. Poor were in the hotel bust.
