From the Lafayette Advertiser
Dec 6, 1890, pg. 5 col. 3

Monday morning a Mr. Alexander De Vilbris, a drummer for F. C. Bowser & Co., 
oil tank and siphon pump dealers, Fort Wayne, Ind., who several days 
previously had taken a room at the Lafayette Hotel, was found dead in 
ded, about 6 o’clock.  Coroner Gladu was called, and pronounced the 
cause of death hemorrhage o the lungs.  The firm was telegraphed to, 
and answered to pack and ship to that point; but it being difficult to 
procure suitable zinc lined, air tight box necessary, with the consent 
of the firm the body was decently interred at this place.
