John Trout, aged 80 years, died at his home at the corner of North Main and 
10th avenue last night, June 29. Mr. Trout has been ailing for several months 
but has not been confined to his bed. He was down town yesterday afternoon. 
Last evening he went to bed about 10 o’clock, complaining of a pain in his 
head. His daughter was awakened a few hours later, found him suffering and 
within a few minutes he expired. Rheumatism of the heart was the cause of his 
death. Mr. Trout was born in Ohio. When a young man he entered the butcher 
business in Peoria. He was married there. In 1872 Mr. and Mrs. Trout moved to 
Kansas and settled on a farm in Prospect township where they endured the 
privations of the early comers. Afterward he moved to El Dorado and entered the 
butcher business in partnership with John Stewartson, their market was where 
Pattison’s implement room is now located. His wife died 18 years ago and he 
went out of business. He formerly belonged to the Odd Fellows but dropped his 
membership in the organization several years ago. He was known as a worthy man 
and citizen. Mr. Trout leaves to children, Mrs. Jannie Young of El Dorado and 
Mrs. Ida Joyce of Shrevesport Louisiana. The time of the funeral is not known, 
and Mrs. Young is waiting to hear whether her sister can be present.
