McHenry County Independent ; Towner, McHenry Co., N.D. ; November 24, 1893 ; Vol. III, No. 41
Sudden Death.
This community was startled Sunday morning when the intelligence was brought 
to town that Benjamin Peters, whose home is about nine miles northwest of 
Towner, was dead. Saturday evening Mr. Peters called upon one of his neighbors 
about three miles distant. He left him in the best of health, apparantly, but 
on his way home was taken with a severe pain in the chest; during the night he 
suffered a similar attack, and in the early morning another, and from which he 
never recovered. During this attack a neighbor started to Towner in quest of 
Dr. Payne, but he had been gone a few minutes when Mr. Peters expired, and 
when the doctor arrived had been dead several hours. After inquiring into the 
symptoms of the case the doctor stated that death had resulted from paralysis 
of the heart. The funeral occurred Tuesday afternoon.

Mr. Peters came to McHenry county seven or eight years ago and engaged in 
farming. Though industrious and of good habits, mismanagement and the many 
disadvatages that farmers have to contend with, combined to gradually diminish 
his resources until in his death, his family are left in destitute 
circumstances. The most sincere sympathy is entertained for the bereaved 
family, and this should find expression in those kindly ministrations of 
charity, so much needed by the widow and children in their grief and distress.
