HENDRICKS, George



Source: Greencastle Banner-Times, 29 Dec 1893 p 7

The home of George Hendricks, of New Maysville, was a place of joy and then of sadness on Christmas. Mr. Hendricks had entertained a number of his friends at dinner and the afternoon was pleasantly spent until evening. At the supper table Mr. Hendricks was in the act of drinking a cup of coffee when he suddenly complained of blindness, then fell forward dead. Heart disease was the cause. Mr. Hendricks was one of the most prominent citizens of New Maysville. – kbz
