	REV. OBERSCHMIDT DROPS DEAD AT NETTLETON
	-------
	Body Found Next Morning
	-------
   NETTLETON, Miss., Oct. 29.—Friday morning about 8 o’clock, Rev. Charles 
Oberscmidt was found dead in the hallway of the Presbyterian manse.  He had 
fallen against the glass in the front door, breaking out a portion of the light 
and cutting a small wound on one side of the forehead.  
  The crash of glass about 5 o’clock the afternoon before attracted some men 
across the street, and one of them, J. H. Young, went to investigate the cause 
of the falling glass.  The front hall door was nearly closed and, as it was 
about sunset, and hearing nothing, he did not enter.  Next morning Mr. Young 
went around and entered the hall from the back way to find the body lying 
almost against the front hall door.  Immediately I. E. Roberts, mayor, 
empaneled a jury of inquest and an examination of the body by the attending 
physician, Dr. C. O. Farrar, was made.  The jury returned the verdict that Rev. 
Charles Oberscmidt had come to his death from natural causes, there being no 
evidence of violence or self-destruction present.  He had expressed himself as 
being anxious about his blood pressure as being high, and had been careful to 
avoid excitement as much as possible.  He was called to this work about two 
years ago from Corsicana, Texas.
