Remaining unconscious for nearly one hundred hours following his fall from a cherry tree last Thursday morning, Sanford H. Drybread, sixty-six years old, died at his home, 815 south Washington street, at nine fifteen this morning. Mr. Drybread did not become conscious even momentarily, after the accident. He was picking cherries at the Hearn residence Thursday when a ladder fell with him when a limb broke. He was thrown to the ground, a distance of twenty feet, striking two limbs as he fell. He alighted upon his face and head and was picked up unconscious. Concussion of the brain is thought to have resulted, causing death. The skull was not fractured. At the time of the accident Mr. Drybread's condition was regarded as serious, and it was feared death would result, but on Friday, while unconsciousness had not returned, it was believed a slight improvement was noticeable. During Sunday and Sunday night he weakened rapidly, however.
Mr. Drybread was a son of William and Nancy Drybread and was born in Bartholomew county on September 17, 1848. He was one of two twin boys in the family. On April 8, 1883, he was married to Rosa Belle Hogue at Columbus. The widow and two children, Miss Nannie Drybread and Archie Drybread, survive. The son has been teaching in Billings, Montana. A message has been received announcing that he started for this city Saturday. He was expected to arrive here this afternoon. Funeral arrangements will not be made until the arrival of the son.
Mr. Drybread had lived in Crawfordsville for about seven years. The family formerly lived near Lebanon. From there they went to Montana and later came to this city. The deceased has been retired since coming here. He was known as a good Christian man, honest in all his dealings. This morning at the home of his wife and daughter were prostrated with grief. – thanks to Kim H
