BARD OF INDIANA
HAS PASSED AWAY
Known as sHOOsier Poet and
Thoroughly Attuned With Spirit
OF His Section.

indianapolis, July 22-James Whit
comb Riley, the Indiana poet, died
this evening.
Indianapolis, Ind, July 22.-James
Whitcomb Riley died at his home here
tonight at 1O:30 o'clock from
stroke of paralysis. He had asked
Sfor a drink of water and reclined on
mis- bed again. Miss Clementia
Prough, the nurse, noticing that the
poet seemed not to be resting easily
approached his bed. He died before
she, reached his side.
Mr.. Riley suffered violent stroke
about 7:30 o'clock this morning and
members of his household were great
ly alarmed, but under DR.. Carleton B.
McCulloehs ministrations he seemed
10 improve. Early tonight he was said
to be much better, and information
was given to the public that he was
in no danger.
None of Mr.. Riley,s family, which
includes his brother-in-law. Henry
Ethel; his nephew, Edmund H. Eitel,
and his niece, Miss Elizabeth Eitel,
were in the room when the poet died.
Mr.. Riley suffered his first stroke of
paralysis July 16, 1910.
He recovered and seemed to be III
good health until he was stricken a
second time. This stroke caused a
complete paralysis of his right side.
MFR. Riley's determination to battle
the illness was shown at that time
IN he set about laboriously to
learn to write with his left hand.
For several years he spent his win
tiers in Florida. On his return north
last May ne never felt better" as he
expressed it. Since that time he has
been in excellent spirits and seemed
unusually strong. lie had been able
to go to his publishers frequently and
was out in his automobile as late as
Friday.
Mr.. Riley never married. His near
est living relative is sister, Mrs.
Mary Hayne of New York. He was
born in 1853.
Poet Of Middle West.
James Whitcomb Riley, bard of the
Middle West, sang the joys, sorrows,
fancies and humors Of its folk, largely
in it's own dialect. The world was SO
touched by his inspiration and the
realism of his homely symbols that
he was one of the few, that, devoting
their lives to poetry, gained for
tune.
NHr. Riley was peculiarly sensitive
as to the advance of age and evaded
inquiries as to the date Of his birth
but the most accurate information
available indicates that he was born
in 1848.
Should you ask his age" one OF
his friends said, "he would answer
This side of 40 and leave you to
guess which side.''
The poet was the son Of Reuben A.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1916-07-28

Riley, a lawyer and political speaker
of Greenfield, Ind. The boy could not
be brought to the dull routine OF
school days, but he was wise in the
lore of streams and fields. His moth
er, who was Elizabeth Marine before
her marriage, was a writer of verse
and Riley in later life attributed some
'af his impracticability to her.
Instead of preparing for the prac-
tee OF law, as his father wished, tha
son turned itinerant sign painter. Fer
ten years he roved through the Ohio
valley, painting signs on fences. He
had the trick of the brush and pencil
and cleverly drew sketches illustrat-
ing the virtues of merchandise. He
was naturally musical and shone as a
fiddler in the villages at which his
party stopped at night. He played
for dances and at concerts in country
hotels. He wrote rhymes, which
sometimes found their way into coun-
try newspapers
He led this cheerful, free and easy
life late in the '7Os, then he took en-
ployment as reporter on news
paper at Anderson, Ind. In 1877, for
the purpose, as he said, of proving
that he could write poetry of value,
he perpetrated the Poe hoax, which
for years was a literary sensation.
He wrote a poem in the style of Ed
gar ALLEN Poe, to which he gave the
I characteristic title of "Leonanie," and
it was offered to the public as a hith-
erto unpublished product of the
genius of Poe. One of the stanzas
was:
"Leonanie-angels named. her,
AMI they took the light
Of the laughing stars and framed her
In smile of white.
And they made hen hair Of
gloomy
Midnight and her eyes of bloomy
Moonshine and they brought her
to me,
In the solemn night"
: In some quarters the poem was ac.
cepted as genuine; in others it was
denounced as fraud. After the con-
troversy had waged for months Riley
confessed.
In the early 'S0s he began writing
verses in "Hoosier" dialect for the
old Indianapolis Journal. He sent
some of his poems to Henry Wads-
worth Longfellow and they received
his praise. A volume was published
and 'the Hoosier poet" began to win
public favor. He was an excellent
reader of his own dialect verses and
for the flowing Is years, or until
1898, he made tours of the country,
appearing in public with great sue
cess both alone and in association
with the humorist, Bill Nye, who was
his intimate friend.
Publication of books of poems year
after year brought Riley fortune
and wide recognition OF his literary
genius and not only in the genre form.
Many of his poems are of imaginative
fantasy of gentle philosophic.
In 1902 he received the degree or
master of arts from Yale university
