TERRY S. HAGAN
DIES SUDDENLY
Another Prominent Citizen Sue.
cumbs Unexpectedly and
Death Shocks Friends

i The sudden and unexpected
death of another of Richmond 5
most prominent citizens has cast
j pail over the community.
Terry Stephenson Hagan d-ed
about 9 o'clock Sunday morning
/ as the result of paralytic stroke
sustained shortly after 9 O'clock
! Saturday night, Just as he was
preparing to retire. He became
unconscious almost immediately,
and gradually sank into slum-
Der which knows no waking this
side of the Judgment morn. The
stroke came as shock, SO sud-
! den and swift that few could real
ize its portent. Mr.. Hagan had
been around town, mingllng with
his many friends on the streets
Saturday afternoon and down the
street with his wife in the even
ing. He ate hearty supper and
remarked to his wife that he was
feeling better this summer than
he had for sometime past. It
seems that he had at various
times, been affected with rather
high blood pressure, but had not
been troubled this summer appar-
emily.
Shortly after 9 o'clock, he was
upstairs with his wife and pre-
pairing to retire. Mrs. Hagan
spoke to her husband as he sat
in a chair. She noticed that he
did not reply but thought he was
busy. Soon he arose and started
out the door into the hallway.
He walked rather unsteadily and
caught the handle Of the door and
began to sink to the floor. Mrs.
Hagan ran to him, and asked him
what was the matter. He was
unable to reply, and apparently
never rega ned the power Of
speech. Physicians were hurrld-
ly summoned, but were unable to
do anything, and he passed away
early Sunday morning
Few men have been more
prominently identified with the
business and farming interests ..
r cEmond ana Madison county n
the past few years than T. S. Ha-
gan, and none will probably be
more widely missed and mourr-
ed. He was born near Kinks
vile So years ago, the son Oh
John c. IIagan. He gradua-ed
from Central University. He
was partner with r. {. Stock
ton in the drug business for a
number of years here i'll Rich
mond and afterwards established
the Madison Milling Company
This, as with has other ventures
almost without exception, provea
a dec .ded success, and few
years ago he sold it to the A. II. ,
Earring Milling Company, and
purchased other farms and gave |
his attention entirely to agricul- !
ture, and other interests with !
which he was connected. HeE
made his home on West Main
street, and went out nearly every
day to his country places, giving
them his personal attention. He
was hard worker and great
of his success is attrib-
uted by his friends to his untirng#
and enthusiasm in all his
business affairs. He was d.
rector of the State Bank &
Trust Company and interested in
many other things. When the
hurley tobacco growers organ
lied, he saw the great possibiii-
ties for good for the farmers OF
Kentucky, and entered heartily
into the pooling movement. EIe
was in the forefront of the cam
paign, and none has rejoiced ii
its unqualified success more hear !,
tily than he.
Mr.: Hagan was always anxious
to, have part in every movement
which tended for the betterment
and Improvement OF his home
community. He was a citizen of
the, highest type, a true friend
and a man among men honored
and esteemed by all who knew
his sterling worth.
Probably few men have known
as happy home life as the de-.
ceased who early in life married
Miss Rika Porter, of Lexington,
a sister of ]. w. Porter, and
widely connected in the blue
grass. She, with two daughters, /
Mrs. Eleanor H. Park and Mrs.
Harris holland, and a brother,
John J. Hagan, of Springfield,
survive, and to- them in this, their
lark hour, the hearts of host
# friends and loved ones go out
n deepest sympathy.
Early in life. Mr. Hagan uniteas
