Higginbotham - B.K.
Source: Crawfordsville Daily Journal Tuesday, 20 October 1891
The sudden death of Judge B. K. Higginbotham of Frankfort, which occurred at Plainfield yesterday morning, removes one of the most brilliant members of the Indiana bar. He was a man of warm and generous impulses and possessed all the native elements to have made his mark in the world. Unfortunately, however, he was his own worst enemy. Strong drink became his master. He drank the dregs of the bitter cup and finally gave up his life in a brave attempt to disenthrall himself from the accursed monster.
