McCOLLUM, Samuel D.
SAMUEL D. McCOLLUM
Note: I am only guessing (but logically Susannah Nehemiah had three brothers and the other two are accounted for) that this is Samuel D. McCollum who died 15 July 1909 at age 53 - son of Benjamin and Ureba Ann Allen McCollum) - if it is not, please let me know
……... McCullum, a barber who has
been working for J. H. Ephlin at Kingman, died quite suddenly Monday night at
the Woody hotel in Newtown. He was complaining in opening and after going to
the …….. Dr. Ratcliff was summoned and administered to his needs. McCullum
apparently grew better and said that as if he would rest during the remainder
of the night. About three o’clock in the morning he suddenly grew worse and Dr.
Ratcliff was summoned. He at once recognized that the man was suffering
cerebral apoplexy and that his condition was very serious and while all that could be was done for him, the fellow
continued to sink until about five o’clock, when he died. McCullum was well
known over the county as a congenial, whole ……..ed good fellow. He was past 50
years of age, unmarried. He leaves two sisters, Mrs. Susan Nehemiah, living
south of this city, and Mrs. ……..cy Cavin, who formerly resided …….. but now
lives in Terre Haute. McCullum had many friends who severely regret his sudden
and sad death. A short funeral service was held at C. M. Spencer’s undertaking
establishment Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Levi ……..ody, after which
the remains were laid to rest in the Centennial cemetery. – jlr
