Belding Banner, 8 Dec 1898

Died in Grand Rapids

Armon J. Ring of Otisco died suddenly in Grand Rapids Tuesday where he had gone
to have a cancer removed from his eye.  The affliction had been troubling him
for some time and he concluded to have it removed arranging with Dr. D.E. Welsh
to perform the operation.  He was taken to Butterworth hospital and an
anesthetic administered by Dr. White who assisted in the operation.  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 lungs
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.  Coroner Best was notified and took charge of the
body.  George Ring accompanied his father to the city.  Mr. Ring was 56 years
old and had lived there nearly all his life.  He was a war veteran, a member of
Co. B.25th Mich. Infantry, also a member of the Dan S. Root Post and the
Maccabees.  Funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock in Smyrna. 
Reverend D.E. Hills will preach the sermon.
