Lowell Ledger, 8 Dec 1898

Armon Ring of Keene went to Grand Rapids Tuesday to have an operation performed 
on one of his eyes.  There was a foreign growth under an eyelid and he wanted 
it removed.  He was taken to Butterworth hospital and there an anesthetic was 
administered which nauseated him.  His stomach settled down and he was again 
put under the influence of the drug.

Dr. Welsh cut a slit in the eyelid, removed a part of the growth underneath and 
was examining it to determine whether it was of a cancerous nature when both 
physicians noticed a change in the color of the blood coming from the wound – 
it suddenly became darker.  At the same time his pulse almost stopped and his 
lunge were almost still.  Artificial means were used to assist respiration and 
everything possible was done to resuscitate the patient but he sank rapidly and 
died within twenty minutes.

[Transcriber's Note:  There is a notation on the obituary card that he was 
buried in Smyrna Cemetery.]
