JAMES WHlTCOMB RILEY
NOTED POET, is DEAD
Death, Saturday, Was Due to Stroke
of Paraysis-He Had Never
Married.

Indianapolis, Ind.-James Whitcomb
Riley died Saturday, while only Mr..
Rileys nurse was awake at the poets
home. Mr.. Riley's death was due to
a stroke of paralysis.
Mr.. Riley was born about 1858, but
was reticent as to his exact age. One
of the most unique celebrations in
the country was held in his honor
October Z, 1915, when "Riley day"
was observed by a banquet in Indian
apolis and in schools of the country
attended by more than one million
children. Men prominent in busi-
ness and politics from all over the
country assembled to do the poet
homage at the celebration, and many
congratulatory messages were receiv-
ed from abroad on that occasion. The
day in the public schools was observ-
ed by reading his poems. The poets
philosophy of life and his manner of
expressing it in Hoosier dialect won
for him years ago a place in the
hearts of the public. OF late years
he had not appeared at public gath
erings to any great extent, but in nice
weather could be seen on the streets
of Indianapolis in his automobile.
Mr.. Riley never married. His near
est living relative is a sister, Mrs
Mary Payne of New York.
The funeral service probably will
be held Monday, according to the
relatives, at his home. Burial will be
in the Riley family lot at Greenfield
Ind, which town was his boyhoot
home.
A Poet of the Provinces.
True poet of the provinces was
James Whitcomb Riley; born of the
middle west, he sang the joys, sor
rows, fancies and humors of it's folk
largely in its own dialect, and The
world was so touched by his inspira
ton and the realism of his homel!
symbols that he was one of the few
who, devoting their lives to poetry
have gained fortune.
