"A SAD DEATH. - It has been our duty to chronicle many deaths, but none as sad or more sudden than that of Mr. John Wimmer, Jr., at the residence of his father, Main Street, Salem, last Sunday evening, a little past 8 o'clock, at the age of 30 years. The deceased was subject to heart trouble, but was enjoying apparently good health during the day, and visited a number of places both morning and afternoon. Late in the evening, however, in company with his brother-in-law, Mr. Jones, he reached home in a physically feeble condition and was scarcely assisted to his room before the spark of life fled. His death was evidently due to heart trouble aided by an over-dose of bromidia which had been taken to quiet his nervous system from an undue use of alcoholic stimulants during the week. We knew him from boyhood and saw him almost daily. Always found him social, free hearted, and possessed of a good business turn, and his worst enemy self. Twice he was married and leaves a wife, two children, a father and two brothers as survivors in the immediate family circle, to whom our sympathies are extended in this particularly sad demise. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. John McCuiston and the remains interred in the Salem Cemetery Monday evening."
