Nathan W. Ader, a merchant of Bainbridge, Ind died suddenly while seated in an easy chair in the rest room in the fifth floor of the New York store today. At the time his wife was supposed to be shopping in the store but she could not be found in the army of shoppers before the body was taken away. Ader, who was about 65 years old went to the store with his wife and when he got a paper and settled himself in a chair to read, his wife started on an excursion about the store. She had only been gone a short time when one of the employees saw Ader collapse and when assistance reached him the man was dead. Mr. Ader was identified by means of papers and an identification check on his key ring. Bicyclemen Trimpe and Rucker went to the place and Thomas Blackwell, a deputy coroner was also called. When Mrs. Ader was not found arrangements were made to remove the body. It was placed on a stretcher and carried down to Pearl Street on an elevator in the rear of the store. The dispensary ambulance was in waiting and the body was taken to Renihan and Blackwell’s morgue. But few people in the store knew of the death. At a late hour this afternoon Mrs. Ader had not made herself known either at the New York store or the undertaking establishment and Coroner Blackwell telephoned to Bainbridge. He was told there was no one at the Ader home. The coroner said it was possible that Mrs. Ader had made arrangements with her husband to meet him in time to catch an interurban car and that she spent her time visiting the other stores.

The body of Nathan W. Ader, the Bainbridge merchant and farmer who died suddenly while seated in the restroom of the New York store yesterday was taken to Coatesville, Ind today. Ader owned a fine country home at that place and it was his desire to be buried there. Coroner Blackwell had much trouble in finding Mrs. Ader after the man’s death. It was supposed she was shopping in the New York store and that Mr. Ader was waiting for her in the restroom where he had made himself comfortable in an easy chair with a paper. Ader’s automobile was standing in front of the store at the time. When no trace of Mrs. Ader could be found Coroner Blackwell telephone to Bainbridge and learn that Mrs. Ader’s niece, Mrs. Harry Dempsey lived at 2914 Paris Avenue, this city. The coroner called at the Paris Avenue home and found Mrs. Ader waiting for her husband. The couple had driven to Indianapolis on Monday. Yesterday morning they came downtown and Mrs. Ader went shopping after making arrangements to meet her husband at 11 o’clock. The funeral of Ader will be held tomorrow. He was a Knight Templar. Besides the widow, one son and one daughter survive.
