B. SHONTZ DIES FROM STROKE OF APOPLEXY

B. Shontz, father of Mrs. Frank Crowther, Mrs. Frank Crighton and Mrs. F. E. 
Price, all of this city, suffered a stroke of apoplexy Wednesday night at the 
home of Mr. Crowther, where he makes his home. It was not discovered until 
yesterday morning, when an investigation was made to ascertain why he did not 
rise at his usual hour. He was found in his bed unconscious, and yesterday 
morning the physician could not tell if there was a chance for recovery.

Since the above was written, Mr. Shontz passed away without regaining 
consciousness. His death came so sudden that it greatly shocked all who knew 
him. On Wednesday he had gone to a physician, who had warned him that he was 
threatened by apoplexy and he was preparing to take precautions against it.

He had lived here about five years and owned one of the best fruit ranches in 
the valley. His body will be held until Sunday so that relatives may arrive.
