FOUTS STRICKEN WITH APOPLEXY AND DEATH SUDDEN Mrs. Solomon FOUTS, daughter of James and Eve BRIDGE was born in Butler county, Ohio, July 6, 1838, and died November 1, 1911. She moved with her parents to Carroll county in 1852 and settled on a farm near Deer Creek on which she has since resided. She was united in marriage to Solomon FOUTS August 11, 1860. To this union were born nine children, one son dying in infancy. The eight surviving children are Mrs. John WICKARD, Noah FOUTS, Finis E. FOUTS, Mrs. George GUARD, Mrs. O. M. JONES of Danville, Ill.; Mrs. A. J. GETTY of Fort Wayne, Ind., Mrs. E. N. GRACE of Logansport and Taylor FOUTS. There are also 27 grandchildren and one great grandchild, one sister, Mrs. Jennie GATES of Decatur, Ill., and one brother J. C. BRIDGE, of Logansport, besides a host of friends left to mourn her loss. Her husband Solomon FOUTS died April 1, 1907. They were prominent pioneers of this county and did much in building up our institutions and making our present favorable conditions. Grandma FOUTS came into the Hopewell Presbyterian Church at an early age, and by her godly example she was influential in having her children and grandchildren in connecting themselves with the Church of Christ. Grandma Fouts had an attack of acute indigestion on Friday of last week but this sickness was not considered serious. On Wednesday of this week while talking to friends, she was suddenly stricken by apoplexy and passed away in a few minutes. The funeral was held Friday at one o'clock at the Presbyterian Church at Deer Creek. Rev. Clark officiated. Interment was made in Deer Creek cemetery.
