Dr. Francis Oliver, age 76 years, a Fincastle veterinarian was found dead at his home at the cross roads at Fincastle late Sunday evening by Mr. and Mrs. Lee Graham. Death was caused by heart trouble and it is believed death occurred between 9 and 10 o’clock Saturday night. He was found lying close to a window which he evidently had just put down. Mr. and Mrs. Graham became alarmed Sunday and went in search of him when he failed to appear at their home, where he boarded for meals. Dr. Oliver had been in ill health for several years. He had lived at Fincastle for the past 20 years. He had lived alone since the death of a brother a number of years ago. He is survived by three nieces, Mrs. Wood Sutherlin of Russellville and two nieces living at Crawfordsville. Short funeral services were held at the grave at Hartman cemetery Monday afternoon.
