Sudden death of Captain R.S. Tomme
 
This community was shocked on last Saturday evening by the sad intelligence of 
the sudden death of Captain R.S. Tomme, which occurred about half past even 
o'clock p.m. Captain T. left his store about half past four o'clock that 
evening, not complaining in the least, and in fine and jovial spirits.  On 
arriving at his residence, he started to the dining-room for his supper, when 
on being informed it was not quite ready, he went into his room and sat down 
on a trunk, where he expired, with an attack of apoplexy.  
 
Captain Tomme was about 37 years old.  He was a gallant Confederate soldier - 
lost an arm at the battle of Chancellorsville.  He leaves an interesting 
family to mourn his loss, a wife and seven children, the oldest 17 years of 
age and the youngest, two months - five boys and two girls.  
 
He was buried on Sunday afternoon with Masonic honors, attended by a large 
concourse of citzens. - LaGrange Reporter
