PROMINENT D|ST|LLER
CLAIMED BY DEATH
Another One Of Maysville's Prominent
Citizens Dies Rather Suddenly at
Home Just West Of the City.

Mr.. Henry e. Pogue, prominent To-
cal distiller, died very suddenly at his
home Just West Of the city Sunday
evening at nine o'clock.
Mr.. Pogue had been in bad health
for some time and his health had been
slowly growing worse since a very
serious stroke of paralysis suffered on
election morning, November 1917. On
Sunday, however, he seemed to be no
worse than he had been for the past
several weeks. He spent the day in
the usual way with his family and
friends at his home and enjoyed his
supper. His physician called on him
in the early evening and found his
heart and respiration normal. He re-
tired early and shortly after retiring
the family noticed something unusual
in his breathing and called the physi-
clan again. His breathing continued
to grow harder but he regained con-
sciousness and was talking with his
family few minutes before his death.

admirable traits of Heny Pogue's
character was his loyalty to family

joyed his home more than Mr.. Pogue
and no one enjoyed his friends more
than he, neither was there any one
more enjoyed by his friends than he.
