S. DIED AMONG STRANGERS A cadaverous specimen of humanity with a small package of jewelry tools in his possession, sat in front of the Almand House about three weeks ago. He was apparently contemplating the serious question of passing in his checks to the great Agent. “My candle is almost burned out, boys,” he said and leaned over to catch the warm rays of the September sun. His condition aroused sympathy and he was kindly cared for while in Jackson. He left this point about October 1, and stopped near Bethel church at the residence of Emanuel Davidson where he died of exhaustion from chronic diarrhea. The coroner jury eliminated the following facts concerning the deceased : Name, O. S. Davey; his ;mother lives at Mineral Point, Wis., he lost $15,000 on a patent in California, went to Florida where his wife and children (three) died; caught onto the jeweler’s trade; tramped to Jackson on his way to his mother’s, who he says, is very wealthy. Thirty cents in money, a walking cane and lot of jewelry tools were the only effects found upon his person. The corner’s jury returned the following verdict: We, the jury having held an inquest over the dead body of O. S. Day, found in the above county at the residence of Emanule Davidson, on investigation find, to the best of our knowledge and belief his death was due to exhaustion from chronic diarrhea.
