"Brick Fell On Head And He Never Recovered - Once Wealthy Contractor In Muncie Dies In Montgomery County Poor House"
Hugh McDonald died at the County asylum at 8 on Sunday. He has been at the poor farm for many years and has as far as is known no relatives in the country. He came to the US from Edinburg, Scotland, and for many years was a prominent building contractor in Muncie, Ind. While doing a job at that place a brick fell from a high wall and lit on his head and almost killed him. He finally recovered but has never been right mentally since. His funeral will take place at St. Bernard Church on Tuesday morning at 9 with burial at Calvary Cemetery.
